A screening from a hearing professional is simply a pass/fail test. Hearing aids will not be prescribed on just a screening alone. If an individual fails a hearing screening, a full diagnostic test will be administered. Full diagnostic testing can be charged to the patient from an audiologist. In most cases only a co-pay is expected from the patient. If a Hearing Instrument Specialist is performing the testing, the full diagnostic testing will always be free of charge to the patient.
Members begin by calling the toll-free Customer Call Center to schedule their complimentary examination. The member will then be guided through the process from beginning to end.
