Medicare Part B does not cover routine hearing exams, hearing aids, or fitting of hearing aids.
There are many Medicare Part C (also known as Medicare Advantage plans) that do cover hearing aids in full or offer hearing aids for a copay amount. The hearing exam may be covered in full or have a much smaller copay (similar to office visits for a specialty doctor). Dr. Johnson’s practice participates as a provider for many of these supplemental insurance plans.
