Cost
of a Cochlear Implant
download the pdf
The
combined costs for pre-implant evaluations, the implant
device, surgery and post-surgical fittings may be anywhere
from $40,000 to $100,000 depending on an individual's needs
and the center at which the surgery is performed. It is
important to keep in mind that the cochlear implant center
will help in obtaining insurance approval for the cost of
the surgery and follow-up appointments. Typically, hospitals
receive approval from insurance companies before the surgery
is scheduled.
At first the cost may seem overwhelming,
but most private and group medical insurance policies do
cover the cost of the device and surgery.
