Billing Policy
Most hearing aids and hearing aid services are not covered by health plans,
but some may offer a partial benefit. If you think you
may have a hearing aid benefit, please notify us so that we may verify your
benefits
at the
time
of
your visit.
Regardless of the type of hearing loss or model of hearing
aid, a hearing aid must be ordered to fit the shape
of the ear and
meet each
patient’s
hearing loss needs. Consequently, the following billing
policies apply:
- It is customary that ½ of the total cost of the hearing
aid(s) be paid for at the time of the hearing aid evaluation.
The remaining balance
is due
on the day of the hearing aid fitting (approx.
2 weeks after initial appt)
- Payments can be made in the form of cash, check or Mastercard/Visa
- You are given a 30-day trial period. During that time period, you may return
the hearing aid and the price of the hearing aid
will be refunded, minus the cost of the professional services. Professional services
will
include the
cost of the hearing aid evaluation and fitting fees
