Use Health Insurance Benefits and FSA or HSA Funds to Your Advantage
Hearing insurance benefits run dry at the end of the year if they aren’t used, so be sure to contact your insurer for more information about your specific policy. If ASH Audiology is a preferred provider with your insurance company, we will directly bill your insurance for payment. Your employer may also offer an FSA or HSA (flexible spending account or health savings account) that pulls money from your paycheck pre-tax and sets it aside for future medical expenses. In this case, the cost would still come out of your pocket, but it would be untaxed. If you’ve already used your FSA funds for the year, please consider what your hearing needs will be next year when you sit down with your company’s benefits coordinator and decide how much of your paycheck you’d like to reserve tax-free.
Hearing Insurance 101
Many insurance companies provide coverage for a hearing evaluation, and some even offer a benefit toward the purchase of hearing aids. Medicare policies require written authorization from your primary care physician, which we ask you to obtain prior to your testing.
Payment for services is requested at the time of your visit, unless we will be filing a claim with your insurance company for consideration of payment. For your convenience, we accept cash, MasterCard, Visa, Discover, American Express.
Financing options are also available through ABLE Tech, CareCredit and Ally.
Will Medicare cover my hearing healthcare needs?
Medicare Part B will cover the diagnostic hearing and balance evaluations only if your physician orders these tests based on symptoms that would require medical treatment. Medicare does not currently cover routine hearing evaluations or treatment, including for hearing aids.
