Hi George,
Well all I can say is that Rule # 1 applies when a health
insurance company is asked to pay for something out of the
ordinary the answer will always be, "We don't pay for these
procedures!" as you now know. :-)
So the next step is to contact a cochlear implant center.
For information and location call the Cochlear Implant
Hotline 1-800-458-4999 V/TDD.
When you are accepted as a candidate, they have staff, whose
sole job is convincing the health insurance companies to pay
some if not all of the costs involved.
Keep us all posted. You just might be the first one here in
SilentTalk to have the Cochlear Implant.
Wayne
