Guest guest Posted August 15, 2002 Report Share Posted August 15, 2002 Hello Everyone, Last time I posted I had been denied by my insurance for my son, Chase, to see Cranial Technologies for the DOC band, after a 6 week ordeal, just to get denied. Well, the company the does the cranial banding through CIGNA is Hanger Prostetics & Orthodics. I contacted them myself to get information on their STAR band, so that I could compare it with the DOC band. Well, a dr. from Hanger called me back yesterday morning and I found out that they are authorized through the FDA to make the DOC band!!! I called my dr.'s office right away and told them this bit of information, they were just as happy and excited as I was! So the sent the paperwork via fax to Hanger that afternoon and I've already got the casting appt. schedule for Thursday, the 22nd at 11 a.m.!! I'm so happy, but still upset with CIGNA for wasting all that valuable time and for not knowing that Hanger could do the DOC band my dr. had requested on the referral! I'm thinking of writing another letter! Thanks to everyone for their advice and support from a couple weeks ago!
