Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Hey, Although I found out that I am eligible for ci, I've been juggled between two decisions: go ahead to get implanted now or move to different state first and get implanted later when I get a new insurance. I would like to get implanted and move other state to start a new life with new job, etc. If I get implanted now, how soon can I move? I thought it should be at least 6-12 months with mapping/training before I'd relocated. I know that any state has clinics to help me out. My main concern is my insurance. What do you think? Does it ever happen to some of you? Best regards, Kitty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Kitty, If you know where you want to move to, or what type of insurance you will have, you could call around to find out if that insurance would cover mappings in the state you want to move to. If you will be without insurance for any length of time, you might be better off to wait on the move till most of your initial mapping is finished... First 6 months is when the most frequent mappings take place, but you might need more mapping than the average person too. If you wait till you move then get different insurance and wait to be implanted, you would have to start the whole insurance process over again. Hmmmm.. tough decision, but if u want the implant now then, If I were in your shoes, I'd wait till most of the mapping is complete> Best of luck to you.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 kitty you might want to find out what ci centers are in your state and in the new state you wnat to move to. if u hve a really good ci dr and excellent drs to do the ci suregery u might want to stay. on other hand if its better in another state go there. i think very important to find a verygood dr to give u best results. and also when u move to another state there s so much adjusting to do, do you really want to also be trying to adjust to ci at same time? if you have the insurance now, go fo it, otherwise thing may come up iwth insurance or other issues todelay ur ci . when u start a new job and you get new insurance the new insruance may not pay for ci. joni preling HU 4-04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Hi Kitty, If you really want to move soon then I see no reason why you can't have your surgery here and your mappings elsewhere. I guess if that were to be what you do then it would be a good idea to make sure that there is a good mapping center near where you want to move to. You do not have to be mapped in the same place where you had your surgery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
