Re: Anyone with Hanger band experience in Reston VA? Hanger vs Cranial Tech?

[Guest guest]

Hi, we are currently being seen in ndale VA by Cranial Tech. I

can't tell you much about Hangar, but I can tell you we've had very

noticeable results in a very short period of time with the Doc Band.

Ours was not covered either- but we're military so there was a 1000

dollar discount, and then we paid in full at the start of treatment,

which there is an additional 300 dollar discount for. If paying up

front isn't an option, they have payment plans and a pamphlet for a

medical care credit line.

I actually go to the Hanger in Reston. I went to CT first and they refused to deal with my child saying he had severe tort, which he did not and that was confirmed by 2 PTs and my ped so we ended up going to Hanger in Reston. My son has now been in his band for 7 weeks and it is going very well. We see a guy by the name of . He's very nice. Our insurance wouldn't pay for either place so it was nice to only pay $2000 versus $3500 at CT.

If you have any further questions about Hanger in Reston, let me know.

Hi,Im new to this group so I apologize if this is repetitive. I went to Cranial Tech and the treatment is $3600 but not covered by insurance. I called Hanger and their band treatment is $2,000 and may or may not be covered by insurance but at least it is In-Network for us so we could potentially fight it if it is not.Any pros/cons of either? Specially in the VA area? My first big decision for my little girl and I just don't know what to do or look for. I just want the best for her, even if I have to pay out of pocket.Thanks for your help in advance!
