Guest guest Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Does anybody have UnitedHealthcare. I was trying to figure out whether the DOC Band is covered, before we go for our appointment at CT, but I could not find information. I am planning on calling them on Monday, but wanted to check if anybody has had experience with them. Thank you in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I have just spoken to them and our plan does not cover orthotics. that is what the band is considered. you will need to specifically ask for that if it is in your plan. your plan is a contract between the employer and the insurance company and they are telling me even an appeal would not go through.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I have empire united healthcare NY and was covered about 80 percent. Good Luck, a few others have not had so much luck the first time out, they have had to appeal. I was glad to get around 2600 and the band cost 3000. But, go for the free cranial consult anyway. They can do measurements and help get you pre approved.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I do not believe it was considered an orthotic for me with united healthcare. Call back and get codes from Cranial. I believe it was a considered a medical equiptment. Not sure though but it was covered 80%. Keep trying and band anyway even if not covered it is important to start young and get the correction. Fight later, band now. Tammy You can pay on a credit card and space out payments on a payment plan.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 We have UnitedHealthcare too. They are a hit or miss in coverage. You will definetly want to contact them. We decided to pay upfront and try to get reimburssed after. We did that because it would take a month or longer just for the approval process. We wanted to get the band on asap before our son got older. Good luck. I hope they cover some or all of your band. Jenn > > Does anybody have UnitedHealthcare.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I have United Health Care and I was denied as they called the helmet an orthotic device used specifically to change the shape of a body part, which was an exclusion to my policy. In addition to a letter of medical necessity written by a pediatric plastic surgeon, I wrote a 12 page appeal letter citing my son's history with severe brachy, including repositioning attempts, definitions by the American Medical Association, studies about the effects of untreated plagio (all info found in the insurance file-very good stuff), but unfortunately was denied again. I felt totally hopeless. I thought for sure they would aprove it after the appeal letter. Anyway, now 2 months have gone down the drain and my son is 9 months old (instead of a more desirable 7 months) and is getting his helmet on April 7. We were are paying out of pocket since I just know in my gut that it is the right thing to do. Take it from a mom with feelings of guilt for wasting the past 2 months waiting on the appeal to go through, if it is at all financially feasible, get the helmet now and worry about coverage later.
