Do you have hearing aid benefits with your health insurance plan? Many insurance providers are now adding
hearing aids to their list of benefits. Like anything else....some of the plans are good and some are not so good.
What you should know..........
- Very few plans actually pay for hearing aids.
- Most plans are a discount guarantee.
- Some plans will cover a portion of the cost while you cover the balance.
Some health insurance companies offer hearing aid benefits that are administered through a separate company that is owned by a major hearing aid manufacturer. Hmmmm, imagine that! It isn't a"bad thing". It isn't illegal. But, you should understand your benefits and know that you are not restricted by them.
If your benefits offer quality product choices and quality providers to fit and service the product, you should feel good about helping yourself and your family through better hearing. Don't be afraid to go outside your health insurance plan if it doesn't offer what you need. Do what is best for you and your hearing needs.
