Hearing Aid Financing and Payment Plans

Financing option: CareCredit® Credit Card

HearingLife is proud to be part of the CareCredit network and to offer 24-month interest-free financing on purchases over $200.

CareCredit offers:

  • Flexible payment options

Financing Option: Personal Loan or Other Financing Source

Insurance Options for Hearing Aids

In addition to financing, there are several ways to reduce or cover the cost of hearing aids.

Insurance Coverage for Hearing Aids
Many health insurance plans cover at least part of the cost of hearing aids. However, coverage details are specific to your individual health insurance plan.

When scheduling your free hearing test, please bring your insurance card so we can verify your benefits and discuss your hearing aid coverage options.

If your workplace insurance does not currently cover hearing aids, consider reaching out to your human resources department. You may find they are able to add coverage.

Using FSA and HSA Funds for Hearing Aids

If you have a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA), you may be able to use those funds to pay for hearing aids.

This is a great way to cover all or part of your hearing aid purchase, with or without insurance coverage.

You can also use these funds for:

  • Hearing aid repairs
  • Batteries and related supplies

Medicare and Medicaid Coverage for Hearing Aids
​

Does Medicare Cover Hearing Aids?
Hearing loss becomes more common as people age, so it would make sense for Medicare to cover hearing aids. Unfortunately, that’s not typically the case.

If you have a supplemental or Medicare Advantage plan, you may have some coverage, so be sure to let us know at your appointment so we can help you find out.

Does Medicaid Cover Hearing Aids?

In every U.S. state, children’s hearing aids are covered by Medicaid. For adults, Medicaid coverage for hearing aids varies by state and eligibility is subject to change.

This resource from the Hearing Loss Association of America allows you to look up Medicaid coverage for hearing care by state.

Additional Programs That May Help Pay for Hearing Aids

 

Union or Retirement Plans

Most union members have hearing care coverage as part of their benefits, so be sure to ask about yours. You may need to pay costs upfront and submit receipts for reimbursement.

If you worked for the federal government, you may be eligible for the Federal Employee Health Benefit Program through Blue Cross Blue Shield, which may cover up to $2,500 for hearing aids every three years.

 

TRICARE or VA Coverage

If you or a family member is active military, you may have hearing aid coverage through TRICARE if your hearing loss meets certain criteria.

You can also check with your local VA to see if you qualify.

Workers’ Compensation

If your hearing was damaged due to your job, you may be entitled to hearing aid coverage through workers’ compensation.

Hearing Aid Discount Programs

Many discount programs exist, including AARP and AAA. Your health plan or vision plan may also include access to a discount program, so be sure to explore these options.

  

Charitable Programs to Help Pay for Hearing Aids

If you are unable to finance hearing aids, there are many local, state, and national programs that may be able to help.

If you are currently working, your state’s vocational rehabilitation program is a good place to start. Search for “[your state] vocational rehabilitation program” online to see who to contact.

We also recommend reviewing this extensive list of programs to help with hearing aid purchases put together by our partners at the Hearing Aid Project for additional support options.
