Tina:

Oh yes, Cigna is an all too familiar insurance carrier mentioned in

our group. Gail will be all over this one. She's been fighting for

mos with Cigna to get her twins DOCbands covered. There have been

some appeals of Cigna recently though that have been approved, so

there is hope for you.

The Hanger Band has been mentioned in here before and we have several

parents whose child has used it. You can search our group archives

by typing " Hanger " in the box then all posts with Hanger will show

up, month by month (keep clicking " next " when you are done). I can't

remember hearing anything really bad about it, so that's good!

My daughter, Abby began wearing her DOCband at 11.5 mos of age, she

wore one band for 4.5 mos and had about 50-60% correction of her

severe plagio., so even though Chase is a bit older, he could still

get good correction!

Good luck.
