re:Carol and medicare question

[Guest guest]

Hi Carol-

There has to be some kind of logical explanation as to why medicare ci

recipients would not be eligible for the discount. You have to remember that

the letter that posted was one that was designed to go to

professionals(ci centers, etc) and those people would probably already have a

better knowledge of the nuances of medicare and cochlear implants.It might even

have something to do with the way medicare is set up and how Cochlear is

required to handle situations when a product is declared obsolete. I don't know.

So, the best place to ask about medicare and the whole obsolete the 3G and

sprint issue is to call or email Cochlear. If you call Cochlear(1-800-483-3123)

or Cochlear reimbursement, which I think handles medicare(1-800-633-4667) I

would think that you would get more information on this issue. NO sense

worrying or wondering if you can go to the source. I would hope that when ci

recipients get the letter from Cochlear that further

explanations would be offered but why wait and worry when you can ask Cochlear

now.

with double ci joy,

Margo
