Benefit Coverage Clarification: Hearing Aids
|
As of 1/1/2013, NHP provides the following coverage for Commercial Plans: Hearing aids are covered for commercially insured children through their 21st year, for the cost of one (1) hearing aid per hearing-impaired ear, up to $2,000 per hearing aid, every 36 months. Coverage includes all services related to a covered hearing aid device, including the initial hearing aid evaluation, fitting and adjustments and supplies, including ear molds. Coverage for the hearing aid device is limited to $2,000 per hearing aid per hearing impaired ear, every 36 months. This limit applies to the hearing aid device only, and does not apply to the related services and supplies. However, members may elect to purchase a more expensive hearing aid; in which case NHP would pay $2,000 and the member would pay the difference in cost above the limit of $2,000. Commercial coverage does not include batteries. Assistive listening devices are not covered for Commercial members. Should you have any questions, please contact our Provider Service Center at 1-855-444-4NHP (4647). |
