Title: Insurance coverage for the BAHA
Post by: leapyrtwins on January 29, 2010, 08:11:47 pm

I got this link (with permission) from the Cochlear Community website where I have recently become a member.

I hope it will be helpful to those of you trying to get your insurance company to cover the BAHA.

I really think that Blue Cross Blue Shield of Iowa changed their position on the BAHA system based on an amazing letter sent by my surgeon's office.  The letter was a detailed explanation of the parts of the BAHA system in addition to a full description of why I medically and personally needed this system.

There is always the possibility of Divine intervention.
