Re: Insurance Issue Question?

[Guest guest]

What a small world Shimi!!!! We got our bands at Harry J. Lawall

too! We went to their ford Avenue location, is this where you

are going? Do you have any idea who it was that you spoke with? My

ortho was Bud Lawall, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about

him!! If you are going with Bud, you will be in really good hands.

He has about 20 years of plagio experience under his belt!

Our insurance, BCBS Personal Choice, did cover the bands, as long as

we had a letter of medical necessity. We got that letter with no

problem from St. 's.

It's so nice to see someone from the area here! Do you live in

Philadelphia as well?

Take care Shimi, and keep us posted!
