Guest guest Posted October 10, 2002 Report Share Posted October 10, 2002 Yes, we have had a few families that were able to access the state for helmet therapy. I am not sure if they are still active on the board or not. Definitely call your local office and start talking to people. If you need me to help you find more information about it let me know. Glad you are here and please be sure to tell us more about yourself. beck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 10, 2002 Report Share Posted October 10, 2002 Hmm, I don't have any experience with Medicaid. Did they pay for the first band? If so, they should pay for the second one also. If not, how about contacting your local Shriners? There are very interested in helping children. Maybe a Lions club or something like that? We'd love to hear more about your girl! Has she gotten good correction so far? What kind of band is she wearing?

I have not tried the Shriners, but my understanding is they will not pay for it unless you use there hospital. My daughter has come a long way. I am very pleased with what it has done. She is in a DOC band. I hope this will be the last one. She only wore the first one for 2 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope too that the 2nd band will give you all the correction you're hoping for. Sorry to hear of the hassle medicaid is giving you for payment. Might as well try Shriners, you have nothing to lose at this point. Good luck. Debbie Abby's mom DOCgrad MI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
