Guest guest Posted October 4, 2002 Report Share Posted October 4, 2002 Where do you find this information? We have Sagamore and I don't have a clue whether they will cover it or not. Could you direct me in the right direction Link Master? LOL Taryn Indiana Re: insurance info Neem your post is not long at all so don't apologize that is what we are here for. In regard to getting the information toy our insurance company the DR's office should be able to forward that to you. At your neuro visit if he gives you a prescription for the band-YOU MUST HAVE ONE TO GET A BAND-also ask him for a copy of his progress notes from your visits and a letter of medical necessity from him. He should be able to provide all of this to you. Then make plenty of copies and then take it to wherever you are getting the band made. They should file it all for you with your insurance and work out the preapproval so you know what is covered before the rest of the therapy continues. Insurance is very confusing. Attached is a link that Aetna has provided a statement regarding banding- hope it is helpful for you. We have heard some success stories with Aetna so I hope your is one of them.beck Click here: Aetna: Cranial Remodeling Band/Helmet Click here: Welcome to AetnaFor more plagio info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 5, 2002 Report Share Posted October 5, 2002 Oh Taryn you re so funny I never even heard of your insurance when I have time tomorrow I will see if I can find something on the web about them-but I would give them a call and ask them for a statement on their durable medical equipment coverage in general and then I would ask for their policy on cranial remolding helmets. That is a good start and I will see what I can come up with beck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 5, 2002 Report Share Posted October 5, 2002 You don't have to waste your time looking for info for me!!! I can do some research myself and figure it all out. They do cover durable medical equipment according to my dh's handbook but it doesn't say anything about helmets. Dr. Frim told us most insurances will cover as long as the child has tort along with plagio making it a medical necessity. Please don't waste time looking on my account. I just thought maybe you had heard of them before and knew something about them. Thank you so much for offering!!!

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2002 Report Share Posted October 6, 2002 Thanks, Beck. I know it will probably be a hard process to find anything and I appreciate you looking. I will definitely check the files section to see if anyone else is on there with Sagamore.
