Private, right?

The Castle program is affiliated with UNC, so they do get some public money. About $1million for 800+ children. The State also helps families with the first year of hearing aids.
For us Castle bills our insurance and we just pay the copay $60.
Implants are covered by health insurance and also medicaid.
NC is a state that really understands that it is cheaper to spend the money early instead of supporting these children when they are adults.
