CNI Cochlear Implant Assistance Program
Eligibility Determination
- Applications will be considered only if the candidate is a permanent legal
resident of the United States. In the case of applicants who are under 18 years
of age at the time of their application, the legal guardians must show proof
of permanent, legal US residence as well.
- Applicants must to be evaluated and determined to be a candidate for a cochlear
implant (CI) prior to applying to this Assistance Program.
- CI candidates, including those who have insurance but lack coverage for
the cochlear implantation process, are eligible to apply.
- Applicants must seek assistance from this fund prior to obtaining their
cochlear implant. Applications for reimbursement following the cochlear implant
procedure will not be considered.
- All applicants must provide all required attachments and documentation with
their completed applications before being considered for this Assistance Program.
Applicants will be contacted if incomplete applications are received and will
be given a maximum of 6 months in which to submit all required documents. Failure
to provide all materials within 6 months will result in the application being
classified as inactive and discarded. If an applicant later wishes to be reinstated
for consideration, all paperwork must be re-submitted under the guidelines
in place at that time.
- Pre and post-linguistically deafened pediatric applicants and pre-linguistically
deafened adult applicants must demonstrate a commitment to appropriate therapy
that promotes auditory skill development or their application for assistance
will not be considered. A letter of support from the applicant's cochlear
implant center verifying the applicant's level of commitment must accompany
the application.
- Applications may be considered from applicants who already have a CI if
the applicant is attempting to replace a failed internal device no longer under
warranty. However, attempts to cover the expense of a replacement prothesis
by other means must be exhausted prior to consideration for assistance from
this program.
- Applications for a bilateral implant (either simultaneously implanted or
subsequently implanted) will not be accepted.
Eligibility criteria are re-evaluated every 6 months and may be modified
more frequently if needed.
Effective Date: November 27, 2007
