Guest guest Posted March 21, 2002 Report Share Posted March 21, 2002 Hi Madison: I have never heard of the Pown Grantz helmet? Why will your ins. company cover that helmet & not the DOCband? Especially seems how you're in Phoenix, AZ, so I would imagine that isn't considered " out of network " seems how there is a Cranial Tech in your area.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2002 Report Share Posted March 21, 2002 I guess that this band is considered in network. I cant seem to find any info on this band. They lady from CT did tell them that my Dr wrote the RX for a Doc Band so BCBS says they are going to contact my Dr to see if he will switch it to the Pown Grantz. I have already tried to call my Dr to tell them that I really want the Doc Band. I don't even know what to do next. she is already 8 months old and I really want to get her in a helmet soon. I don't want to put her in a cheap helmet and have to switch to the doc band later. I would just rather get it right the first time. I hope that I am not rambling.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2002 Report Share Posted March 21, 2002 Celeste (sorry, in my last reply I called you Madison!): I would call BCBS & ask them for information on the Pown Grantz helmet, at least for a phone # of the manufacturer. Let us know what you find out about it. Debbie Abby's mom DOCgrad MI > > Hi Madison: > > I have never heard of the Pown Grantz helmet?

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2002 Report Share Posted March 21, 2002 Hi Madisons mommy if the Dr wrote the script for the DOC band and its a covered benefit they have to pay for the DOC, the only thing if there is a network and you go out you may have a bigger co pay. Please do research and find out the network. You can go on your Ins web page and get a list of network providers. I bet there is not a network and they want you to have the other one because its cheaper.A Ins cant make you have someone instead of what a Dr ordered just to save themselfs money, its illegal, thats why they want the Dr to write a differant script.(I know this because my Ins tried to do this and we ended up with a DOc covered 100% by Ins.)
