Understanding your insurance can be harder than first glance. There are a lot of ins and outs when trying to understand what is covered and what isn’t. Once you know that your baby will require helmet treatment, spend some time looking through your insurance coverage to get a sense of what is covered and what isn’t. Even when looking through your insurance it may not be clear whether the helmet is covered or not. If this is the case, contact your insurance company to get the specifics on coverage.
