3ACI Alliance Submits Formal Request for Medicare Coverage of Cochlear Implantation in Single-Sided Deafness and Asymmetric Hearing Loss
Last week ACI Alliance submitted a formal request to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to expand the Medicare program’s coverage policy on cochlear implantation for individuals with post-linguistic sensorineural hearing loss. The organization submitted a formal Request for Reconsideration of Medicare coverage (a National Coverage Determination or NCD) based on the clinical presentation of the ear to be implanted.
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.
