Is a new cochlear implant sound processor covered by my health plan?
Most health plans will cover the supplies that support your cochlear implant technology, but this benefit is plan-specific. Prior to shipping your order, Advanced Bionics can facilitate a benefit determination and coordinate any prior authorization request with your health plan to seek approval for the replacement supplies. This process typically takes 4 to 6 weeks, depending on your health plan’s requirements and utilization review process. Your financial responsibility will be set by your health plan’s benefits and payment policies in terms of any applicable deductible or co-insurance.
