Organizations Filed Purposes:
TO ADVANCE ACCESS TO THE GIFT OF HEARING PROVIDED BY COCHLEAR IMPLANTATION THROUGH RESEARCH, ADVOCACY AND AWARENESS.
ANNUAL CONFERENCE - THE CONFERENCE BRINGS TOGETHER COCHLEAR IMPLANT CLINICIANS, EDUCATORS, AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS TO EXPLORE THE LATEST RESEARCH RESULTS, DISCUSS THE CLINICAL POPULATION, AND RAISE QUESTIONS REGARDING CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS.
RESEARCH - DURING THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2020, THE ACI ALLIANCE STRATEGICALLY SUPPORTED RESEARCH THAT COULD IMPROVE ACCESS TO COCHLEAR IMPLANTATION AND WHICH WAS NOT BEING SUFFICIENTLY ADDRESSED ELSEWHERE. PROJECT SUPPORT WAS PROVIDED TO MEDICAL UNIVERSITY OF SC TO EXPLORE THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW INSTRUMENTS THAT MAY PROVIDE A MORE COMPREHENSIVE AND PATIENT-CENTERED UNDERSTANDING OF CI PATIENT OUTCOMES THAN JUST USING SPEECH RECOGNITION. SUPPORT WAS ALSO PROVIDED TO A PROJECT THAT SEEKS TO EXPAND MEDICARE INDICATIONS FOR COCHLEAR IMPLANTS. AN INTERNAL RESEARCH PROJECT EXPLORED MEDICAID LIMITATIONS IN STATES.
AWARENESS - THE ACI ALLIANCE CONDUCTS AWARENESS ACTIVITIES ABOUT CANDIDACY AND OUTCOMES ASSOCIATED WITH COCHLEAR IMPLANTATION. THE ACI ALLIANCE PROVIDES EXTENSIVE INFORMATION ABOUT INSURANCE COVERAGE AND OTHER ACCESS ISSUES THROUGH OUR WEBSITE AND ARTICLES, PAPERS AND PRESENTATIONS. ADDITIONALLY, THE ACI ALLIANCE ENCOURAGES COVERAGE OF COCHLEAR IMPLANTS IN PRIVATE AND PUBLIC INSURANCE PLANS.
