Success after IF

Alternative to a DOC Band (AKA - helmet)

My insurance SUCKS ass - yeah, I know I should be grateful that I have insurance - bla bla bla

Anyway, Cora probably needs one.  Cranial Tech (DOC Band) does not take our insurance - and our insurance will only cover pennies after our co-insurance.  Which means that we would have to pay for almost 75% of the cost.

So, I know htere are other bands/helmets/etc besides a DOC band.  Anyone know of other places that do "cranial orthoics"

And - if you are in NJ, did you use someone other than CranialTech?

  • Starband is another brand of helmet .... here is their website .... I'm sure you could call the company directly to try and find a provider near you:

    Good luck, this is a PITA, I know!!  Hang in there mama. 

    Wheee!
