Newly diagnosed and concerned

[Guest guest]

My 7 month old son, Antwan was diagnosed May 12 with plagiocephaly. I was told

by the specialist at the plastic surgeon's office that my son's insurance will

most likely not cover the starband. Today i spoke with someone at cranial tech

and after she spoke with their insurance specialist, she said the same thing-

it's not covered. The star band costs almost $2700 and from what i've read the

DOC at cranial tech costs about $1000 more. I've been talking to people at the

insurance company and i'm already getting conflicting information about

coverage. I did ask the ped to get things started to see what happens but i'm

already frustrated.

i've been losing sleep over it lately and my bf thinks it's natural and i'm over

reacting. Sooo, I thought maybe if i posted his measurements from the StarScan,

someone out there could tell me what they think of the severity.

cephalic ratio: 0.920

anterior symmetry ratio: 0.773

posterior symmetry ratio: 0.672

ear offset 12.1mm

cranial vault asymmetry index: 4.0
