Figuring out what you need for your hearing health can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to finding a reliable insurance solution that caters to all your auditory needs. With plenty of factors to consider, you’re not alone in finding it a little stressful.
Here’s where the Government Employees Health Association, or GEHA, comes in – they’re a great insurance option for those looking for comprehensive hearing coverage.
At Nelson Audiology, we've explored the depths of what GEHA offers, ensuring that our patients can make informed decisions about their hearing health.
Why Choose GEHA for Your Hearing Needs?
GEHA stands out in the healthcare realm, particularly when it comes to its hearing aid benefits. As a GEHA member, you unlock access to the Connection Hearing® program in collaboration with TruHearing.
GEHA serves former and current federal employees as well as military retirees and their families – meaning their plans are designed with your background in mind.
This partnership provides state-of-the-art hearing aid devices at a fraction of the regular cost. Members enjoy an impressive discount of 30% - 60% off retail hearing aid prices, translating to an average savings of more than $2,600 on top of their regular benefits.
GEHA doesn’t compromise on quality either; they partner with leading manufacturers like Signia, Starkey, Phonak, ReSound, Oticon, and Widex to bring the latest in hearing technology to their members.
Convenience and Comprehensive Care
GEHA's extensive network comprises more than 6,000 provider locations nationwide, ensuring an in-network provider is always within reach. At these centers, members receive a detailed hearing exam. Post-assessment, the audiologist tailors a solution, recommending hearing aids that align with your hearing profile, budget, and lifestyle.
If you’re an adult (18 years old and above) with a mild to moderate hearing loss, GEHA also offers the flexibility of over-the-counter hearing aids. These devices don't necessitate a medical exam or a fitting, but with TruHearing's discount, they’re even more affordable.
Unbeatable Add-Ons
Each hearing aid comes with a slew of additional benefits, including a 45-day trial period, a three-year warranty, and 48 free batteries (for non-rechargeable models). Plus, routine follow-up visits ensure that your journey to optimal hearing remains on track.
Beyond the initial offerings, GEHA recognizes the importance of post-purchase support. This is evident with the inclusion of complimentary adjustments and cleanings for your hearing aids during the warranty period.
These services are essential, as your hearing needs or the fit of the device may evolve over time. With technological advancements, software updates might become available, ensuring your device functions at its peak performance.
The 48 free batteries not only represent a significant cost-savings but also underscore GEHA’s commitment to convenience, ensuring users don't face interruptions in their auditory experience.
The combination of trials, warranties, batteries, and attentive aftercare positions GEHA's package as one that prioritizes long-term user satisfaction and auditory health above all.
