Hearing Aid Benefit
Members enrolled in a Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City (Blue KC) medical plan have access to standard hearing aid benefits to help support their hearing health.
Coverage includes hearing aid parts and attachments, accessories, ear molds, the initial implant and related implant services, as well as initial amplifications for newborns. However, keep in mind that items like hearing aid batteries, cords, or receivers are not included.
Repairs or replacements are covered when they’re needed due to a change in medical condition, but not if the hearing aids or implants are lost, stolen, or damaged. Deluxe implants or hearing aids are only covered if they’re considered medically necessary.
Hearing aid coverage is subject to cost-sharing indicated in your member benefit schedule and may be subject to a benefit year maximum. Initial amplifications for newborns are not subject to any calendar year maximum.
For questions, please call the customer service phone number on your member ID card.
