Guest guest Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Kori, Kaitlin's Ponseti brace was covered by Medcost, no problem really. Also, I believe Blue Cross covers them without any problems. Not sure which company you use, but hopefully all the insurance companies are falling in line so yours will too.\ I believe that coverage of this brace is due in part to someone in this group although I can't remember who. Whoever you are....Thanks for all the work/research you did to convince the insurance companies to PAY OUT!!!!

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Kori, If he should send you pics of the shoes could you send them to the CFpics group. I would love to see the difference. We are due for a new pair very soon. Thanks! KK > What a great guy! I emailed him this morning asking if he could make Darbi > a pair of shoes and he's calling me within the hour!
