Alternative place to find FAB in Seattle besides Children's Hosp?

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone can help me out with a different place to

find a FAB in the Seattle area besides Children's Hospital? I'm so

tired of fighting with Children's and United Healthcare on the

coverage of the FAB. Children's bills it incorrectly, and the rates

they have negotiated with United are ridiculous! Last year at

Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, the total charge was $112 for shoes

and bar, of which I paid 20% of that after my deductible. Children's

in Seattle charged $276, with no reduced, negotiated rate! I can't

believe the difference just in base price.

If anyone has a suggestion, I would appreciate it. Thanks for your

help!

Thanks,

They wanted to charge Darby something like $800 for the PM brace there

too. They're a bunch of crooks. Just look in the phonebook and find an

orthotics shop and have the doc give you an actual prescription. Someone

out there in Seattle can get it, they may have to order it though.

- All the information that you'll need to order the

components and have the brace set up is in the files section under

the bracing folder. It has the component numbers and manufacturer's

names- so you can just get a prescription from the doctor and print

off the papers out of the files section and then any orthotist can

get it for you. Just have the doc check to make sure they set it up

right with the bends in the bar and the outward rotation of the

shoes (or send us pictures of it via the yahoo cfpics group) and we

can critique it for you!

Good luck!

Olivia never really used hers - her feet wouldn't stay in. I might have

the right size that you need just sitting at home that I would be happy

to give you. What size do you need? I'll go home and see what I have

tonight. He may need a bigger size than I have.

As far as going forward, I have no idea. I know Swedish hospital has a

pretty popular orthopedic department. I wonder what orthotist they

use? I gave up on Children's - I'm jsut ordering my FAB myself and I

finally won the battle with my insurance (Aetna) to pay.

Also, I forgot to mention - I don't know if you'd qualify or not, but

Children's does have a great financial aid program - it wouldn't cover

my mitchell brace, but it covered the normal FAB 100%. Its very easy

to apply - not even much paperwork, just a quick form.
