Hearing Care Solutions (HCS) manages services related to testing and fitting of hearing aids for select Premera Medicare Advantage plans. This year, we’ve added this benefit to more of our Medicare plans. Members with Classic (HMO), Core Plus (HMO), Total Health (HMO), Peak + Rx (HMO), Sound +Rx (HMO), Alpine (HMO), and Charter + Rx (HMO) now have access to this hearing benefit.
Here are important things to know about HCS:
- HCS will coordinate all services related to testing and fitting of hearing aids for members on some Premera Medicare Advantage plans.
- Hearing aids with Hearing Care Solutions - $1,000 per ear per year benefit.
- To take advantage of this benefit, members need to see an HCS network provider and contact HCS directly to make appointments with HCS network providers.
- This benefit is separate from the diagnostic hearing exam covered by Medicare.
- If you’re a hearing specialist not in the HCS network, you won’t be reimbursed for services if you see one of our members with this benefit. You must be part of HCS’s network.
