**Please Read  -  IMPORTANT**  -  Dec 1, 2009:  Gus Communication Devices offers COMPLETE speech solutions at Co-Pay (20%) prices ***

Almost every day, we hear from people who have NO insurance, or have insurance that won’t pay for a speech device, or who don’t qualify for Medicare or Medicaid because of age or economic position.  And over the past 17 years, we’ve seen these calls increasing in number and frequency.  Added to this...Blue Cross has lowered the maximum it will pay toward a speech device to $1,000 and, the MDA (Muscular Dystrophy Assoc) has cancelled it’s $2,000 funding for speech devices beginning Jan. 1, 2010.

                                                           So today we decided to do something about it.

What if we offered our speech packages at prices that matched the out-of-pocket costs (20%) fully insured individuals spend on our competitors $8,800 speech packages?   And what if we made those prices available to anyone whether they had insurance or not?

                      In other words, remove the medical device “reimbursement max” ($7,100) out of the price completely. 

One VERY competitive price for all....individuals, schools, hospitals, DME suppliers and health insurance providers.

The following chart demonstrates how without ANY insurance, an individual’s out-of-pocket expense is equivalent to what a fully insured individual would pay to obtain an equivalent speech package from our “medical” competitors. 

                                                            Gus Price       DME Price

*** Don’t forget...our systems carry name brands like Panasonic, HP, Fujitsu and others.  The DME systems are manufactured “in-house”.

If you have no insurance, are tired of fighting with your insurance, or need a speech device in a timely manner at a fair price...

Extended Coverage for 3 YEARS from Panasonic ($295)  -   Protect your system from “rough users” and breakage.

This warranty enhances the three-year Standard Warranty by providing additional coverage.

Panasonic’s Protection Plus is designed to compliment the standard three-year limited warranty. It provides an “Extra Protection” service that extends warranty coverage to include damage that occurs due to accidental dropping, exposure to environmental conditions, and other normally excluded incidents that are not caused by intentional actions. All system components, including the LCD screen, are covered under this program which was designed to provide added protection for users that experience heavy travel or work in harsh environmental conditions.

Items not covered include damage from intentional acts, fire, loss, theft, normal wear (cosmetic) not affecting functionality, improper maintenance, modification by anyone other than a Panasonic Factory Service Center or authorized Panasonic Service Provider, or damage that is attributable to acts of God. Protection Plus must be purchased as part of the original sale. External devices are covered at an additional cost. A complete list of the model and serial numbers is required to be supplied to Panasonic before any service can be rendered. Under this service, if repairing a unit is impossible, Panasonic will replace the unit with a model of equal or greater value.

If there is an accident and one of your Toughbooks is damaged, contact the Panasonic technical support hotline at 1-800-LAPTOP5. All units repaired under the Protection Plus Warranty also receive shipping to and from the Panasonic National Service Center (PNSC) at no cost. Panasonic reserves the right to impose a maximum benefit that will be awarded under this contract. The maximum benefit will be limited to one major failure per unit, per year (LCD, keyboard, hard drive, and motherboard).
