Re: Questions about Insurance coverage in Connecticut

[Guest guest]

Hello Sandy

My son had brachycephaly and our insurance denied us BCBS of TX due to being out

of network (Cranial Tech). My husband and I appealed we just heard back from

them a week ago w/ a check for reimbursement. Do your research and try to find

out where has your insurance paid for coverage. For instance when we were

denied, through research I found BCBS of AR, CA, NY & so on has paid for the Doc

Band. Write an appeal letter & have your therapist and pediatrician write a

letter and send back up information in regards to the band. Once its sent out

stay on them call them and find out an update. Good luck
