Changes in 2016 Medicare Outpatient Payment Process for Cochlear Implantation

American Cochlear Implant Alliance submitted comments to CMS on the proposed rule for cochlear implantation services performed in the outpatient setting last summer. We are delighted to share very positive news regarding changes in the 2016 Medicare Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) relative to Cochlear Implants and Auditory Osseointegrated Implants (AOS), changes that were responsive to our submitted comments.  Click HERE for further details.


The mission of the American Cochlear Implant (ACI) Alliance is to advance access to the gift of hearing provided by cochlear implantation through research, advocacy and awareness.
