Re: Update: We were able to make an appointment with CT, Paramus

[Guest guest]

I finally was able to get in contact with . Our appointment

with Purvi is going to be next Monday. I am glad that they use the

DSi scan now so we won't have to go through the mess of casting. (Is

one more accurate than the other?)

told me that I was misinformed. We don't get the twin

discount until we show them the denial letter from our insurance

company. I was a little upset about it. It just makes things more

complicated. However, few minutes later she called back and told us

that she's talked with her supervisor. They decided even though I was

given the wrong information, they are going to go ahead and honor it.

So instead of $6600, I'll pay $5000 up front.

The boys are going to get their DOC bands on 6/23. It turns out that

Purvi is out for that whole week. will do the first fitting

for us.
