Routine Hearing Coverage

We now have routine hearing coverage on most of our plans

Most UPMC for Life plans include routine hearing coverage! Members enrolled in these plans can take advantage of hearing exams, hearing aid fittings, and an allowance for hearing aids.

  • One hearing exam per year
  • One hearing aid fitting exam every one or three years, depending on the plan
  • An allowance for hearing aids every year or every three years, depending on the plan

Not all plans offer hearing coverage. Copay and hearing allowance benefits vary by plan. Compare UPMC for Life plans.

In most cases, you are responsible for all other charges beyond routine care. Hearing care copays and the hearing aid allowance are excluded from the yearly deductible, if applicable, and do not count toward the annual maximum out-of-pocket.
