Once a cast or scan is sent to Orthomerica, how long will it take to get my childs cranial remolding orthosis?
Once Orthomerica receives the cast impression or scan, the STARband will be shipped to the orthotist within 5 working days. Ideally, your child will be fit with an Orthomerica cranial remolding orthosis within 14 days of the casting/scanning date to assure proper fit and function. Since most insurance companies require approval prior to initiating orthotic treatment, it is important for the family and/or the orthotic facility to obtain this prior approval before casting/scanning the infant. Delays related to insurance coverage can be lengthy and frustrating because success in treatment is time sensitive and can have an impact on treatment results.
