Most standard health insurance plans, including those offered by employers, do not cover hearing health. Be sure to check with your health insurance provider or plan to see if you might be one of the lucky few. Even if so, keep in mind that these benefits expire at the end of each year.

Elkhart Audiology Rehab is out of network with most insurance companies and all third-party providers like Tru Hearing. We provide best practices in audiology care, and many procedures are not covered services as they relate to the provision of amplification. We are happy to submit a claim on your behalf, but you will be responsible for payment at the time of your service.

When you do NOT have hearing health covered in your plan, there are other options. For example, your employer may provide a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA). Funds from these accounts can pay costs related to your hearing health. These funds come out of your pocket but are placed into the account tax-free. It’s a great way to pay for things not covered in your plan. You should judiciously consider such potential expenditures as you prepare for paycheck deductions for the following year.

In other words, routine hearing exams are not covered by Medicare unless they are ordered for some diagnostic purpose related to other aspects of your health. And, hearing aids are not covered by Medicare but could be covered by certain supplementary plans.
