Re: Do I need a prescription? Can it be from the ped? Or can we go directly to CT?

Cranial Technologies does a free consult. I recommened calling them and they can

tell you if a script will be needed. A lot of times Crainal will contact your

doctor and get the script for you. I hope this helps.

specialist, or can I have the pediatrician write a script for the helmet? Or

can I just go straight to the Cranial Tech place? Their website didn't say

anything about needing a script. I doubt my insurance will kick in so I'm

trying to figure out the most expedient route.

You will need a script for sure (no matter if you went to CT or another orth).

It doesn't matter if the ped writes it or a specialist, so if your ped is

willing, I would just get it from them. Good luck!
