Hearing loss affects millions of Americans, so considering this information and the related tips can help people reduce the risk of developing this chronic condition (Source: UnitedHealthcare).
For millions of people nationwide, UnitedHealthcare Hearing provides access to custom-programmed hearing aids at up to 80 percent less than devices sold through traditional channels. UnitedHealthcare Hearing brings together EPIC Hearing Healthcare, the nation’s largest provider of hearing health benefits, and hi HealthInnovations, a home-delivery hearing health care company.
About 48 million Americans experience some degree of hearing loss, although many do not seek treatment due to cost and lack of coverage. Hearing loss is linked to age and environmental factors, and prolonged and repetitive exposure to loud sounds is contributing to the growing prevalence of noise-induced hearing loss, particularly among people of working age in their 30s, 40s and 50s.
Through EPIC Hearing Healthcare, more employers can provide their employees an expanded portfolio of hearing health benefit plans that include the full spectrum of hearing aid options and a large national network of more than 5,000 credentialed audiologists and hearing health professionals. In addition, nearly 3 million people enrolled in UnitedHealthcare’s Medicare Advantage plans that offer hearing health benefits have more robust coverage. They have access to a broad choice of custom-programmed hearing aids from all major manufacturers, with no out-of-pocket cost for some people and a per-device copay for most starting at $200.i
hi HealthInnovations sells premium, state-of-the-art hearing aids to people by phone, online or in person at locations nationwide, with personalized support during and after purchase. Through hi HealthInnovations, millions of UnitedHealthcare plan participants – including people with employer-sponsored and individual hearing coverage, as well as people enrolled in most Medicare Advantage plans – can purchase custom-programmed hearing aids starting at a $100 per-device copay for many people.
