Using the Hearing Benefit |A Guide
Step One | Have an audiology exam.
The member must have an audiology exam within 6 months prior to purchasing hearing aids. The hearing aid benefit and the audiology benefit are two completely separate benefits.
Audiology exams are covered under the standard Medicare benefit. Please see Medicare-covered hearing services for more information.
Step Two | Call Amplifon.
Once the member has had their exam and determines that they need hearing aids, they should call Amplifon at 1-855-533-7486.
Amplifon will work with you to find an Amplifon network provider in your area.
Step Three | Schedule a hearing aid fitting.
Amplifon will help the member schedule an appointment to shop for hearing aids. They will send a referral to the provider that carefully demonstrates what their coverage is. This way, when the member arrives for their appointment, the provider will already know the allowance amount and covered models.
It's important to note that the providers in Amplifon's network for selling hearing aids are not the same as the Martin's Point medical network for providing audiology exams.
Step Four | Amplifon will submit your claim.
Claims for hearing aids will be submitted directly by Amplifon to Martin’s Point Generations Advantage. Members will be responsible for balances after their benefit allowance has been credited. Hearing aid costs do not contribute to the members out-of-pocket maximum.
PLEASE NOTE: Hearings aids must be purchased through an Amplifon provider, otherwise there is no coverage.
