Re: orthotist vs. therapist?

[Guest guest]

Depending on your insurance, you may get the band paid for with

10mm. We started at 8mm assymetry and insurance paid 80% which is

what we expected from our policy. Good luck in your decision. I'm

sure a 10mm looks great when he started at 20mm; however, I know for

us an 8mm didn't look good (we were also told that was the high-end

of moderate from CT).
