Re: Battery reimbursement from insurance

Tell Blue Cross Blue Shield that Cochlear is the only provider of the

batteries. I had the same problem they said Cochlear is not a preferred

provider and I told that that I could only get them from Cochlear. Call

Cochlear's insurance people and they will help.

Hi

I ordered the Power One batteries from Cochlear, hoping to save some

money only to find out when I submitted the bill to insurance that

Cochlear is NOT a Blue Cross Blue Shield Participant!!! They were $190

for 300.

These newer Power One batteries are nice though, they have a brushed

finish so they don't slip out of my fingers like the older ones did.

They last me about a week with my 3G for N22.
