What Do We Offer?

Insurance Information

In light of recent changes and a decline in reimbursement rates for audiology services by commercial insurance carriers, our clinic and its provider have been compelled to make the challenging decision to discontinue in-network participation with most commercial insurance and Medicaid programs.

For procedures that are not covered by your insurance or for which we are not considered in-network, we kindly request that payment be submitted in full at the time of service. It is essential to emphasize that all associated fees must be settled on the day of the service for non-participating insurance companies

Understanding the details of your insurance coverage remains your personal responsibility, as your insurance policy represents a binding agreement between you and your insurance provider. To avoid any unforeseen financial obligations, we strongly recommend that you contact your insurance provider prior to seeking our services, ensuring that (1) the services in question are covered, and (2) we are recognized as an in-network healthcare provider. While we will assist you by billing your insurance once, you remain accountable for any expenses associated with non-covered services.

Medicare covers hearing tests as long as the following requirements are met:

A Referral
An order for testing (can come from primary care, a specialist or another ordering Medicare practitioner)-Medical Necessity
Medical History
We will decide based on your history of symptoms whether testing is “medically necessary” to maintain compliance with Medicare Policy. If there is not an apparent medical need for testing, you will be required to self-pay for the appointment.
Time Frame
One hearing test per 12 months with established medical necessity

Choice Audiology LLC is out-of-network with all insurance companies. We DO NOT ACCEPT OR BILL HEALTH INSURANCE AND CANNOT ASSIST IN ANY CLAIM SUBMISSION AND/OR RESOLUTION. Payment is due when services are rendered and we accept credit cards, debit cards, FSA/HSA accounts, checks, cash, and Advance Care Card.

As an out-of-network provider, we can provide patients with comprehensive and individualized care while avoiding unnecessary struggles with health insurance restrictions and requirements. All our services must be paid for at the time the services are rendered.
Most testing, services, and hearing aid devices are not covered by insurance. Insurance limits the level of care that is covered. By eliminating this barrier, you’ll receive individualized treatment, support, accountability, and expertise. This allows the patient to have complete control and free CHOICE in the care that they receive.
You may be able to use pre-tax dollars from a Health Savings Account (HSA) or a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to pay for your fees related to your services from this office.
Please contact your insurance company with any questions or concerns regarding your plan coverage and deductibles. We can provide you with an invoice to self-submit for out-of-network reimbursement to your insurance company.
