Hearing Aid Benefit
This benefit is available if you are covered under the Trust Medical Plan, Kaiser Permanente, or Providence Open Option. This benefit is not available to individuals on a Medicare Supplement/Medicare HMO Plan. The following guidelines must be met:

1. The hearing aid device must be ordered by a physician, certified audiologist, or licensed hearing aid dealer.

2. Charges for a hearing aid device ordered by a physician, certified audiologist, or licensed hearing aid dealer will be eligible for coverage through the Plan's hearing aid benefit. Covered charges for a hearing aid device are not subject to the deductible and the first $400 will be payable at 100% by the Trust. After the first $400, the Trust will pay 50% of the covered charges for a hearing aid device up to an additional payment of $3,000. The maximum benefit is $3,400. For example:

50% up to $1,500

$500 $500 $400 X 100% = $400
$100 X 50% = $50
 $50
3. This benefit renews every 36 months.

4. Benefits will not be paid for batteries and for ancillary equipment that is not obtained upon purchase of the hearing aid device, and for any charge for repairs, servicing, or alteration of a hearing aid device.
