Hearing services with Hearing Care Solutions (HCS)
According to the Code of Federal Regulations and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services guidelines, hearing aids or exams for the purpose of prescribing, fitting, or changing hearing aids are excluded from coverage under Original Medicare. Premera Medicare Advantage plans help you keep your retirement money safe by paying for costs not covered by Original Medicare alone, like hearing aids.
Hearing Care Solutions delivers quality hearing care and hearing instruments at the greatest value to meet your lifestyle needs and includes an annual benefit of $1,000 per ear per year toward hearing aids.
Through Hearing Care Solutions, members receive:
- A hearing aid fitting at no cost
- A 60-day evaluation period to make sure everything feels right
- 1 year of follow-up care at no charge, with the original provider
All instruments purchased through hearing Care Solutions receive:
- 12-month interest-free financing, available to qualified applicants
- 2-year supply of batteries (up to 64 cells per ear, per year)
- 3-year manufacturer’s warranty, including loss, damage and repair
