Hearing Aid Insurance Information

Most plans do not automatically cover hearing healthcare or hearing aids. Even if you have it, insurance coverage for hearing aids varies in the way it is administered. If you want to ask specific questions about the type of coverage you have, simply look at your insurance card to find a toll-free number for member services. Calling your insurance company is the best way to get the most accurate information about your coverage.  

Certain insurance companies have a benefit toward the purchase of your hearing aid. Harbor Hearing will assist you in determining your insurance coverage and in many cases directly bill your insurance for payment. We accept Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California, Medicare, and other major providers.

There is a wide variety of healthcare insurances and coverage options. Some are listed below with more information and helpful links. 

AARP is a United States-based interest group whose stated mission is “to empower people to choose how they live as they age”. If you have AARP or are thinking about joining AARP, you may be able to take advantage of their hearing healthcare benefits.

Medicare Advantage plan 
Medicare Advantage (also called Part C or MA) could cover hearing aids because plans vary by location, and benefits included also vary from plan to plan. To learn more about coverage in your area, you can search using theMedicare Plan Finder or call your local Medicare office.
