Using the Hearing Benefit | A Guide
number one icon 
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.

 

number two icon Step Two | Call Amplifon.

Once the member has had their exam and determines that they need hearing aids, they should call Amplifon at 1-888-669-2167.

Amplifon will work with you to find an Amplifon network provider in your area.

number three icon 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.

 

number four icon 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.

Hearing Aid Benefit FAQs

Expand All

The hearing aids must be purchased through an Amplifon provider, otherwise there is no coverage or reimbursement.
Hearing and audiology exams are a medical benefit that is separate from hearing aids (copays apply). Hearing aid providers typically require an exam within the past 6 months before buying a hearing aid.
You will still need to use an Amplifon provider. After your other health insurance has paid their portion, the provider will bill Martin's Point with the Explanations of Benefits from the primary payer. We will still contribute the same amount as we would have had we been the primary and only payer.

For more information, please see this mission critical statement regarding state legislation for hearing aid coverage.
