I was reading a blog recently. A young deaf woman had a CI implant several months ago. She was extremely unhappy with it so she demanded her doctor to remove the whole CI implant. It made her sick and uncomfortable too long. Her insurance and her doctor disapproved her for the removal. It cost her to see her doctor which is $1200 for an appointment to discuss it so she can't afford it. Her doctor is obvious that he kept his money in his pocket and walked away from her.
Just be careful what you make a decision whether to have CI implant or not. How about if you make your own contract with your doctor before the surgery in case you/your husband demand(s) it to be removed? That way, you could proof it at a court in case to sue the doctor for fraud. Also, the doctor's record will be dent for his reputation forever in the system. If you have a Medicare, they take it very serious if the doctor is fraud in one ticket way, and his license will be fried. You bet.
