Online Course Detail

It is often assumed that there is limited or no insurance coverage for post cochlear implantation therapy particularly for adults. The reality is that most of the major insurance carriers recognize the importance of appropriate (re)habilitation to maximize outcomes and may even state that such services are medically necessary. This seminar will explore the variations in coverage and payment as well as how individual therapists or recipients may pursue improved reimbursement.
