That's correct, but like Boult stated, one can loan them.
We had that lately where 1 of the CI's of my daughter broke. Instead of not using it for 2 weeks, we have the possibility to get a "loan" which the provider will program with the MAP from the latest mapping session.
So you can't just exchange them, it does require professional handling.
