Hearing Aid Coverage How Hearing Aid Coverage Works: The hearing aid coverage will be included with the medical plans. Hearing aids are subject to the plan Deductible and Coinsurance During a three (3) year period, one (1) hearing aid device per ear is eligible for coverage. All covered hearing aid services include hearing devices, and covered services from both Network and Non Network apply toward a maximum benefit for all services of $5,000 per a three (3) year period. Over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids and accessories are not covered. For example, you cannot use your medical card to purchase OTC hearing aids at a pharmacy. The hearing aid benefit may not be combined with discount hearing aid offers. (This would include the discounts hearing aid programs offered through some of the SEHP health plan vendors.)
