Why Self-pay?

"Self-pay" means to pay for a sound processor on your own without using your insurance benefits.

If you don’t want to wait to experience the benefits of the latest in sound processor technology and you want to take advantage of the discounted self-pay price, paying out-of-pocket might be right for you.
