What you probably don't know is that insurance coverage for Cute's StarBand Therapy Helmet was initially declined. We researched it (a lot of helpful information can be found at www.capsforkids.com) and appealed the decision, but because we knew that Cute needed the treatment, we proceeded with the treatment even though we knew that that we may be stuck with a considerable bill if our appeal was declined.
Last week when we went in for a check-up, they notified us that our Insurance had accepted our appeal and was paying for Cute's StarBand Helmet. Needless to say, we are very relieved. Because of our experience and, #1. knowing that their may be other parents in this situation and #2, this is a public blog that is searched by google, we've decided to post our appeal letter to allow other parents to benefit from our experience. Hopefully this will help another family to get proper insurance coverage and be able to provide treatment for their infant in need.
