Hearing Aid Insurance Information

Most plans do not automatically cover hearing healthcare or hearing aids. Even if you have it, insurance coverage for hearing aids varies in the way it is administered. If you want to ask specific questions about the type of coverage you have, simply look at your insurance card to find a toll-free number for member services. Calling your insurance company is the best way to get the most accurate information about your coverage.

There is a wide variety of healthcare insurances and coverage options. Some are listed below with more information and helpful links.

Medicare

Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) does not cover hearing aids.

However, Medicare-eligible beneficiaries may still have options for hearing coverage—either through a state Medicaid program (for those who receive Medicaid) or through a Medicare Advantage plan.

Medicare Advantage plan

Medicare Advantage (also called Part C or MA) could cover hearing aids because plans vary by location, and benefits included also vary from plan to plan. To learn more about coverage in your area, you can search using the Medicare Plan Finder or call your local Medicare office.

Blue Cross/Blue Shield

Blue Cross/Blue Shield offers supplemental plans for hearing aid service benefits. These benefits are determined by state. They also have an additional plan called “Blue 365”, which offers additional benefits outside of regular plans. Learn more about Blue 365 hearing healthcare here.

Cigna

Cigna is partnered with a hearing healthcare company named Amplifon to offer their customers a specific kind of coverage. If you have coverage through Cigna, you may be able to get additional coverage through their plan.

United Healthcare

United Healthcare also partners with a hearing healthcare company. Health Innovations (a United Health company) is a separate group that covers all things hearing health and hearing aids. Please visit Health Innovations website to learn more.

Humana

Humana has partnered with TruHearing to offer an affordable hearing aid benefit to Medicare recipients (and this is Medicare beneficiaries in select states). The hearing aid benefit is offered on Humana Medicare Advantage HMO plans.

Financing Options

CareCredit is the most widely used patient finance program. CareCredit works like a credit card but is exclusive for healthcare services. They offer monthly payment options, no up-front costs to patients, no prepayment penalties and no annual fees. Short-term, no-interest plans are available as well as longer term plans with fixed interest rates. Speak with our team of professionals to see if this may be an option for you.

The Wells Fargo Health Advantage program is a special financing plan that allows patients to enjoy flexibility in paying for healthcare expenses. With special promotions and competitive rates, this is an attractive alternative to some other higher-cost options. Contact us today to see if this program may be right for you.
