Have you heard the news about our Hearing Aid benefit?

In 2024, we’re transitioning from hearing aid allowances to a more transparent copay structure across most of our plans, enhancing the member experience and providing more clarity on out-of-pocket expenses.

Here’s what members can look forward to:

Additional Information

Anticipate Out-of-Pocket Expenses:

With fixed copay rates as low as $350, members can now plan and anticipate their out-of-pocket expenses more effectively.

New Options for Hearing Tests and Fittings:

Members will have convenient options, including online hearing tests and mobile units that can perform tests at home. Hearing aids will be delivered by mail (location-dependent).

Enhanced Benefits Include:

• Up to 2 hearing aids per year
• 3 follow-up visits within the first year of the initial fitting date
• 60-day trial period
• 60 batteries per year per hearing aid (per 3 years)
• 3-year manufacturer repair warranty
• 1-time replacement coverage for lost or damaged hearing aids
• First set of ear molds (when needed)

Special Considerations

• All D-SNP plans and the Premier plan in Lake, Marion, Sumter H1035-043 will continue to offer a hearing aid allowance for 2024.
• BlueMedicare Preferred HMO Blue Dollars Card: These members can use the new Dental, Hearing, and Vision Blue Dollars card to cover the Hearing Aid copay, providing added financial flexibility.
