Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield operates plans in Iowa and South Dakota.

It covers cochlear implants for children and adults subject to FDA criteria. However, it limits post-operative aural rehabilitation to 6-10 sessions.

As with other plans, Wellmark may enter into contracts with individual employers to exclude cochlear implants, despite the Wellmark medical policy for cochlear implants.
