Frequently Asked Questions Related to Insurance Coverage for Hearing Aids
Does my health insurance cover a hearing test?
A. Medicare will pay for the majority of a hearing test (80%) that is deemed medically necessary when your physician refers you to our office. Typically, supplemental insurance pays the remaining (20%). This is only paid after the patient’s deductible has been met. Medicare typically has a low deductible. Some supplemental plans also cover this deductible. Most other insurances cover hearing tests annually with applicable copays/deductibles. Cornerstone Audiology also offers affordable private pay options, if a patient decides not to file their insurance.
