Guest guest Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 In almost every case, your insurance does not pay for an upgrade, unless there is a huge difference in performance (and this is where the letter of medical necessity comes in). Cochlear has statistics that show people do better with the Freedom than with the 3G. Your audiologist should have received this information to help write the necessary letters. Just have to convince the insurance company of it, and that you will do so much better that it's worthwhile. For the most part, if a company can still repair a broken processor, that is what your insurance will pay for. Repairs, not upgrades. Medicare starts the program, and everyone seems to follow their lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
