Insurance companies that cover cranial orthotic

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I am in the middle of writing an appeal letter for our son and am trying to drum

up some supporting documentation. Does anyone have a list of insurance

companies that do cover the cranial orthotic? I know cigna and aetna cover it,

apparently sometimes UHC (although they denied us so far). Anyone else?

Thanks in advance.

I also have UHC and our band was denied the day the claim went in. I called them

almost everyday to get an update on the claim I was told each time that it is

still being processed only to find out it was denied the day they got it! I

called my husbands company and his HR dept got involved as to the awful customer

service I had gotten each time I spoke to someone! I did however get a call the

other day that all of a sudden it was approved! I know that we do not have an

exclusion on our policy and that was why I was fighting so hard! I did not have

to file an appeal as of yet although I still have yet to get approval paperwork!

Contact your benefits team and see what they can do! Best of luck!

I'm not sure we have a list (though that's a great idea). I know that BCBS

Federal Employee Program does in differing variations. We have BCBS FEP of NC

and they covered 90% in network and 75% out of network (with out level of plan,

the lower level had no out of network coverage so it can really depend).

If you do compile a list, it would be great to add to our Files database. Good

luck with your appeal!

We have BCBS Federal Employee Program and they denied us. A couple weeks ago

they sent it to medical review and I just found out today they denied us again.

I sent a letter of medical necessity from the dr and copies of our scans. What

else should I send in?? Any suggestions from people who got approved from BCBS

FEP would be great...thanks!!

We have Kaiser in Northern California and the band was covered as part of

Durable Medical Equipment (DME). Our specific DME coverage was 80%; other

people have plans that cover DME at 100%. So, with Kaiser, I think it

depends on what plan you have what, if any, DME coverage is provided.
