Do insurance companies pay for cochlear implants?
Because cochlear implants are recognized as standard treatment for severe-to-profound nerve deafness, most insurance companies cover them. Medicare, Medicaid, the Veteran’s Administration and other public health care plans cover cochlear implants. More than 90% of all private health plans cover cochlear implants. Cochlear implant centers usually take the responsibility of obtaining prior authorization from the appropriate insurance company before proceeding with surgery.
