Do Medicare Advantage plans cover hearing aids?
Partly covered
Some Medicare Advantage plans add hearing benefits that Original Medicare does not have; what they pay depends on the plan. (Medicare.gov)
The rules
Ask the plan for its hearing benefit in writing before you buy: which providers, which devices and how much it pays.
What it costs
Hearing aids: typically $1,500 to $8,500 per pair. See prices by type.
Other ways to pay
What to do next
- Ask your doctor whether the change, or any covered equipment, fits your needs, and get it in writing.
- If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, call it and ask what home safety or extra benefits it has this year.
- Get at least two written quotes before you pay a deposit. Compare prices first.
