Guest guest Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Hi, this is my first message. We live in the Dallas area where there is both a Cranial Tech and a STARCenter. We were referred to CT by our pedi and had our consultation yesterday. Out daughter (3 mos) was dx w/brachy (they did not specify severity, just said her head was " significantly " wider than the norm) and recommended band treatment. They also mentioned the possibility that she might need 2 bands. We have United Healthcare insurance, so we know we are looking at paying all or most of the cost--$6000 if she needs 2 of them--out of pocket. So then I visited the STARCenter website, which said very few of their children need second or third bands. I was interested. Unfortunately they only do initial evals w/a doctor's prescription, and I don't want my doc to write the Rx until I know which band we are going to go with (or if we will band at all since repositioning has been helping her flatness and head height; however, the CT tech said repo won't do much to correct the width of her head). Does anyone here have experience with a STARCenter or the STARBand who can tell me approximately how much a STARBand costs? Are they about the same price as the DOC Bands?
