Hearing Benefits

If you are enrolled in the UM/Aetna medical plan, Aetna provides hearing aid coverage. In addition, Aetna members receive a discount on hearing aids (not eligible for reimbursement through the medical plan).

Medical Plan

The in-network benefit is 100% reimbursement, after deductible, up to a maximum of $3,000 per ear. The benefit can be used every three years.

If enrolled in the HRA and using an out-of-network provider, the out-of-network benefit is 70% reimbursement after meeting your separate out-of-network deductible.

Plan Deductible
Aetna Select 1 $200 per person
Aetna Select 2 $300 per person
Aetna POSII HRA $1,500 per person (in-network)
$3,000 per person (out-of-network)
