Hearing aid insurance is accepted at HearingLife: Options for your hearing care

Hearing care coverage varies not only by state and provider, but each policy differs in what is included for hearing aid insurance.

There are numerous options, and what plans offer varies by state. We know your first question is often, "Do you accept my insurance?" Insurance is important, so we check individual coverage for everyone who comes to HearingLife for their hearing healthcare needs. Although we accept most insurance, what is covered depends on an individual's plan. 

We are pleased to accept a wide variety of plans, including:

  • United Healthcare
  • Blue Cross Blue Shield (most state plans, and Federal BCBN)
  • Anthem
  • Aetna
  • Humana - National
  • TruHearing
  • Many more – inquire with our insurance team or your local patient care coordinator

As insurance rules vary by state and different companies can vary by state, office and even practitioner, we will work with you to ascertain what coverage you have. 

Don't have hearing aid insurance? We have options to keep hearing aids affordable.

Policies can be confusing. You can, in fact, work for the same company as someone else with the same provider and have different coverage. That’s why the team at HearingLife works with many different providers, which helps us to discover what your individual policy covers.

Please note: Certain states mandate that insurance providers include hearing care. In some cases, mandated coverage is only applicable for children.

  • What is a deductible?

     

    This is a specified amount of money that an insured individual must pay out-of-pocket before the insurance company pays for services. When we check your benefits, we can also inquire into your deductible for you.

  • What is co-insurance?

    Co-insurance is a set dollar amount or percentage of a medical cost that you have to pay once you've paid your deductible. The insurance company pays the remaining amount.

  • What is a copay?

    A copay (or copayment) is a fixed amount that you pay for medical services after you pay your deductible. Insurance copays can vary depending on the type of service and who provides the service.

Are you wondering: does Medicare cover hearing aids?

Many seniors rely on Medicare for their primary coverage or a Medicare Replacement Plan. Others have private secondary coverage to handle items not covered by Medicare. Are you confused about what Medicare covers? If you have questions, our team can check if your Medicare Advantage plan or other supplementary coverage includes hearing aid insurance and related care.

We have outlined the information you need on Medicare and hearing health coverage, including hearing aids.

Medicare hearing aid coverage at HearingLife

Many people would like it if Medicare Part B (their medical insurance) covered hearing aids. Fortunately, certain insurances policies include hearing aid benefits. We know that hearing aid insurance is confusing and we are happy to work with you to address your current policies and go through new policies if you change providers.

Hearing aid insurance is important to look into, especially if you have a Medicare Advantage Plan that may include hearing benefits not included in regular Medicare. In some instances Medicaid may cover hearing healthcare. 

As a reminder, if you are using an insurance benefit, a Managed Care, or Federal reimbursement (including third-party administered reimbursements) you cannot combine them with any of our promotional offers, gifts or any discounts. 

Please call us at 888-379-7214 to discuss your insurance coverage.
