Re: Warrenty

I'm not yet at the stage where my original warranty has run out, so this is

all new to me. I'm curious, though -- would repairs, replacement

rechargeable batteries, etc. be covered under DME on medical insurance? (I

have traditional Medicare, no supplement or Medicare Advantage plan.)

When I got my CIs, I was covered under Aetna so I've actually never done

any claims for my CI stuff through Medicare. It just seems like if that

sort of thing is covered, why pay big bucks for a warranty as well?

Warrenty and cracked controllers It would seem with a lot of cracked

controllers, I had mine replaced twice still under warrenty, there would be a

problem with the products itself and would wonder if that would fall under

the Lemon Law? I have never seen anyone challenge Cochlear after warrenty

expired. But just a thought.
