Does Medicare cover hearing aids, or do I have to pay out of pocket?

Answered by 5 licensed agents

No, some advantage plans do offer this coverage though in the form of free exams and copayments for the aids themselves. Costco and Sams also offer free exams and discounted aids.

Medicare does not. There are Medicare Advantage plans that pay towards it. Also the VA if a person qualifies for those benefits.

It depends on the plan that you have, but generally speaking, you will have to pay a copay per hearing aid, per ear for a specific time frame which is usually per year or every two years.

No. You would have to pay out of pocket, but the good thing is you have enroll into a Medicare Advantage Plan that does cover hearing aids and most Medicare Advantage Plans have a $0 Monthly Premium.

Medicare doesn't typically cover hearing aids or the exams needed to fit them. However, some Medicare Advantage plans may offer benefits that include the cost of hearing tests and hearing aids, along with fittings and repairs.

If you're looking for affordable options, you can consider over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids, which are generally more affordable.
