Help! Cranial Tech says she needs a helemt, doc won't write scrip!

[Guest guest]

Hey guys, I'm really hoping someone can give me some advice on how to proceed

here.

We took my daughter Lennon to the cranio facial doctor at Kaiser (she has Kaiser

through IEHP) about three months ago for asymmetry of the ears and a flat spot

on one side of the back of her head. They told us to use a sleep positioner and

that if it didn't improve in two months to come back for a helmet. In two months

her head was better (though still not " normal " ) but her ears were not. However,

when we went back for that second appointment we were told there was nothing

that they could do for her!

I was so upset that I made an appointment with Cranial Tech for a consult and

they pointed out things we hadn't even noticed yet (forehead sloping, one eye

socket has shifted, etc) and they recommended treatment. So we went back to

Kaiser with this info and they refused to write a prescription no matter what!

I am SO angry and I don't know what to do.

I am more than willing to pay for the helmet out of pocket, which I would have

to do anyway as Kaiser does not work with Cranial Tech, but they need a

prescription to begin treatment even if I pay out of pocket.

Anyone else been in this situation? Help? Advice?
