Yes. Like health insurance, your hearing benefit may or may not be renewed when your plan year ends. For most plans, benefits run in-line with the calendar year (January 1 – December 31).
If you know you have a benefit, don’t wait until December to get your hearing checked! Your new hearing aids need to be in your ears before December 31st to use this year’s benefit.
If you had a hearing benefit in the past, but aren’t sure if you’re still covered, it’s always a good idea to give us a call to confirm if you still have a benefit. This is especially important if you have changed health insurance carriers or employers / union associations, or if you recently went on Medicare/Medicare Advantage.
