MED-EL OFFERS DISCOUNTED 2nd IMPLANT SYSTEM We would like to bring to the attention of all new and existing recipients an offer by the MED-EL company to provide a discounted second implant system. The discounted saving would be 50% or approximately $17,000. The Southern Cochlear Implant Programme has been offering the MED-EL cochlear implant system to adult recipients since 2006. We have recently begun providing the MED-EL device as part of the children’s programme. The following are the terms and conditions of the offer: •
The offer is made by MED-EL Limited for a MED-EL cochlear implant system only.
•
The offer is available to all new and existing recipients. This includes children whose first implant was a Cochlear Limited device.
•
The offer expires on 30 June 2011.
•
The offer includes only the cost of the implant system. Recipients and/or their families would need to fund surgery, hospital costs, plus any travel and accommodation costs associated with management of the second implant.
If you have any questions about this offer please contact Neil Heslop (nheslop@vanasch.school.nz) on 0800 275 7247 in the first instance. Further information about the MED-EL range of cochlear implant products can be found on their web-site at http://www.medel.com.
