Guest guest Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Hi all! I know this has come up many times before, but now it is my time to ask for help!! Blake is 8 1/2 months old, and has been in a Hanger since March, he will be coming up on 3 months next week. I feel like I am just now starting to see some results, and he is just about grow out of his helmet, he has like 0.5mm left! So I think and feel in my heart I should get another to help finish the correction of the plagio and his ear assymetry. The ears have not changed at all. Does insurace cover it? I have Connecticare? HELP!! Alyson mommy to Blake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Hi there, my son is getting his second helmet, in fact we had our scan today. Our ortho asked us to get a second prescription from our ped and he specifically asked to state there that the baby OUTGREW the helmet. So our second helmet was approved. Everything has been done by the ortho office. My baby is ~6-8 mm off and his ears are still misaligned. I am not sure how important the numbers are for getting it covered by insurance companies for the second time, at least my ortho was not concerned about measurements. But I remember him mentioning when we were getting our first helmet that insurances normally approve if the asymmetry is above 6 mm, although I think it might not be true for the second helmet for some insurance companies. I think if there is a facial asymmetry and the ortho writes a letter of medical necessity it likely would be approved. My son is turning 8 months today and had been in his helmet since March 12.
