Guest guest Posted April 20, 2000 Report Share Posted April 20, 2000 I posted several days ago (new to the group) about the specialist my son saw who gave us a bunch of stories about the bands being $10,000, not being covered by insurance and potentially causing premature closure of the sutures. Well, I called the nearest clinic that does the bands and talked to the PT - she was disgusted by what the specialist had told me. She told me - his partner is FOR the band!!! That she gets lots of referrals/prescriptions from his partner, but never from him!! Anyway, she said the Rx can come from the pediatrician (my son's isn't that knowledgeable on the topic). Well, I talked to the ped. and he was very willing to help. He faxed the Rx over and will be receiving info. on the DOC band from the PT (so hopefully his office will become more aware and will offer this info. to parents). So, the ball is rolling. We have a consultation next week and my son should be cast May 1st or 2nd, so will get his band by the time he's 8 months. le (Hunter & Elise) from Wisconsin _______________________________________________________ Get 100% FREE Internet Access powered by Excite Visit http://freelane.excite.com/freeisp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
