Is Your Child a Candidate for a Cranial Molding Helmet?

You will need to check with your insurance company to find at out what

their criteria are for helmet coverage. Most require at least moderate

asymmetry per guidlines below:

-For plagiocephaly, usually oblique cranial length ratio (OCLR)

greater than or equal to 106%, cranial vault assymetry (CVA) greater

than or equal to 6mm orbitotragial depth asymmetry (OTDA) greater than

or equal to 6mm, or skull base assymetry (SBA) greater than or equal

to 6mm.

-For brachycephaly, usually cephalic index of greater than or equal to

93%

-For Scaphocephaly, usuall cephalic index of less than or equal to 76%
