Do Aetna Medicare Advantage plans cover hearing aids?

Hearing loss is common as you get older. But Original Medicare doesn’t cover hearing aids. If you need coverage for hearing aids, consider a Medicare Advantage plan. Most Aetna Medicare Advantage plans cover hearing aids through NationsHearing^®. 

What is NationsHearing through Aetna?

Aetna^® has teamed up with NationsHearing to provide hearing coverage to members. Benefits include:

• Annual hearing exam with no out-of-pocket cost
• Hearing aid fitting
• Nationwide network of providers

If you are enrolled in an Aetna plan, refer to the plan’s Evidence of Coverage for a complete list of benefits.

How do I decide which hearing aid is right for me?

If you think you need a hearing aid, book an appointment with an ear doctor. They can check your hearing and decide if you have mild, moderate or severe hearing loss. From there, you and your doctor can discuss the right type of hearing aid for you.

There are two main types of hearing aids:

• Behind the ear (BTE)
• In the ear (ITE)

The type of hearing aid you choose may depend on your lifestyle and level of hearing loss. Talk to your doctor for more information.

How much does an Aetna plan with hearing aid coverage cost? 

Pricing can vary based on the plan. Some Medicare Advantage plans have a low or $0 monthly premium. They also include additional benefits like dental, vision and prescription drug coverage that Original Medicare doesn't cover. Call a licensed insurance agent to find plans in your area.*
