Got a notice from my insurance company

I live in Germany for almost 7 years now. While here I was refered to get a
cochlear implant because I am effectively deaf in my right ear. That was done about
4 year ago. Surgery, 4 nights in the hosipital cost E 40. Early this year my processor
and batteries were giving me troubles. I ended up getting 3 replacement batteries.
Then the processor unit failed. That was replaced 2 days after I reported it.
The message from my insurance company showed me what I owed.
The batteries billed out to $800ish.
The processor unit billed at $1400.
I get billed for Nothing.
I'm not sure I can move back to the US and afford the replacement parts
when needed for the electronic ear.
