Does Your Health Insurance Cover Hearing Aids?
There are many different insurance plans, riders, coverages, and benefit levels available among health insurance policies. It can be confusing and difficulty to determine what type of coverage you have.
That is especially true when it comes to determining whether hearing aids are covered by your insurance policy. “Does my insurance cover my hearing aids?” is one of the most common questions we answer almost every day.
There are no easy answers to this question, and finding the correct information can be extremely time-consuming and frustrating. To avoid this, Audiology Associates Inc. has insurance specialists on their team that can help any patient navigate the hearing aid process.

- Do I have to pay certain deductible or out-of-pocket amounts before benefits kick in, and how much are they?
- How often will my health insurance plan pay towards the cost of new hearing aids, or how often do those benefits renew?
