Holly,

I dont know if this helps my I am on BCBS of Tx through my work and I have been thinking about switching Braeden to my ins (the boys are on my Husbands ins) When I asked about BCBS on our policy they cover 80% on PPO & 60% on HMO. Now that is what our ins. director said our policy covered. But I cant get Braeden on our's until July ... so back to fighting Cigna we go...HTH..Trisha

As it turns out, I got a call back from Cranial Tech this afternoon. BCBS does NOT pre-certify or do prior approvals so I was able to go ahead and schedule 's casting for this Friday. Hopefully, insurance will ultimately cover it, but, as my husband said, we're going to do this regardless of whether insurance pays for it or not. Fortunately we can go aheadand get started with the treatment ASAP. Thanks again--Holly & (casting on 5/17)> > My son, , was born on January 11th.
