Service plan information and questions
A service plan covers wear and tear overtime, accidental damage and manufacturer defects that could result in needing a repair to your Baha® sound processing device(s). Under your service plan coverage, there is no limit to the number of times that you can send your sound processor in for repair, no questions asked. Your service plan also guarantees you'll have personalized support from one of our Recipient Support troubleshooting experts and all of your shipping materials and associated costs are covered. Cochlear also promises to have your sound processor returned to you within 3-5 days, after one of our trained technicians repairs and restores any issues.
A service plan must be purchased before your current warranty or service plan coverage expires. If your warranty or service plan expires before you purchase a service plan or upgrade your current sound processor(s), you will need to purchase a one-time repair fee should anything happen to your device(s).
If you are not planning to upgrade your sound processor(s) in the near future, Cochlear recommends having your current sound processor(s) covered by a service plan. Having a service plan ensures that you or your loved ones are protected from any unexpected out-of-pocket repair costs over the next year, or until you are ready for your next upgrade.
Cochlear allows you to send your sound processor in for repair at any time with the purchase of a one-time repair fee. In addition to having your sound processor repaired by a trained technician, this one-time repair fee also comes with 6-months of supplemental coverage for the repaired device. This means you'll have peace of mind knowing that your sound processor is repaired and covered for 6-months.
Most health insurance providers will not cover the cost of a service plan, however, many health insurers will provide coverage on replacement parts and repairs. Your health insurance provider may also cover the cost of an upgrade to newer Cochlear technology if you've had your current sound processor for 5 years or more. Check with your health insurance provider to find out what your benefit plan may cover to know which option is best for you.

Yes, if no claims have been made against your service plan you may cancel within 30 days of original purchase and receive a full refund.
If you decide to cancel before you have completed all of your payments, Cochlear will issue a pro-rated refund less a $25 USD cancellation fee.
Or if you decide to upgrade your device before your service plan is up, but it is already paid in full, Cochlear will either issue a pro-rated refund, or you can elect to have the remaining coverage begin again at the end of the upgrade warranty on your new device.
