We got up earlier than I like so we could be in Louisville by 10 am Eastern for her first helmet fitting. It's considered an orthotic, so we saw the dr at another one of the umpteen Norton's buildings.
They were very nice there, gave me some tips on how to fill everything out so it would best be considered by the insurance to cover.
They really didn't do much more today than what Charity our PT measured, but he turns all that into the insurance and then we wait to see if it's covered. We will get it regardless, but then we go back for a scan and that's what the helmet is built from.
Then it will take a week or two to come in and we will go back and then go back every two weeks for adjustments. We will be in Louisville a lot over the next several months.
He showed us what they look like, of course the one he had was camo, but much to Bens dismay we will not be getting that one! He said the have ones with flowers or butterflies, I'm sure that is more our speed.
When I got home tonight there was already a message from them saying they had heard back from our insurance. Don't know why they didn't call my cell, but sounds like we will have our scan soon.
Here's the brochure about the helmet we will be getting: http://www.orthomerica.com/pdf/clinical.pdf
