2. An explanation of vascular malformations and treatment options.

3. Interviews with many families who have children with vascular birthmarks such as hemangiomas and vascular malformations.

4. A detailed chapter on how to appeal an insurance denial for treatment of a vascular birthmark.

5. A chapter on how to select the right physician to treat a vascular birthmark.

6. A list of support groups throughout the country which deal with vascular birthmarks and birth defects.

7. Information on how to obtain free airfare for to and from medical treatment for a vascular birthmark.

8. And much, much more.

This book is a must for families, physicians and all health care providers and insurers who deal with children and adults with vascular birthmarks.

The book will sell for approximately $18.95. 20% of the proceeds will go to support various not for profit organizations which deal with vascular birthmarks. The book may be obtained by calling 1-888-235-7947 or 702-267-3117 outside of the Continental US.
