I don't know about financial help for the device but I would get the implant at the time of surgery and then have your doctor continue getting the insurance to pay for the device.  Talk to the insurance dept at Entific.

I had my surgery 1 yr ago and am not contemplating the BAHA. It would be a much easier decision if I didn't need to undergo another surgery.

Good luck next week.
