Many insurance plans, including the Blue Cross Blue Shield Federal Employee Program (BCBS FEP) are offering hearing aid benefits! If you are enrolled in the BCBS FEP, your insurance benefits include $2500 towards hearing aids every 5 years! This is a change from previous years, as these benefits used to renew every 3 years. This is definitely something to keep in mind when you decide on hearing aids, as you will not be eligible for a new pair for the next 5 years after being fit.
What is really cool about this insurance benefit, is that it is not specific to hearing aids, exactly. If you are enrolled in the BCBS FEP and are around firearms, or other loud noises regularly, then custom hearing protection is covered under this benefit! Several patients with BCBS FEP insurance have come through Gardner Audiology recently, specifically searching for custom hearing protection.
