Remind your Premera Medicare Advantage clients they have a fantastic hearing allowance. All Premera Medicare Advantage plans include the Hearing Care Solution (HCS) benefit.
What’s different about our hearing benefit?
In addition to getting the $1,000 per ear/per year allowance, HCS heavily discounts the price of their devices for our members. Once you include the discount, your clients can get 3 of the 6 levels of hearing aids at no additional out-of-pocket costs.
