Hearing Aid Assistance Program

Application Process

Do you reside in our 27 county area?


Start Here:

Hearing Aid Evaluation must be initiated at the Mina Mskiki Gumik

 

THE REFERRAL WILL BE PLACED IN THE WEEKLY MANAGED CARE MEETING FOR CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL

 

Do not schedule any appointments until receiving notification of approval.

 

Go to your Hearing Aid Evaluation

 

THE RESULTS ARE VITAL TO YOUR APPROVAL!

 

The providers we are contracted with are familiar with our Hearing Aid Referral Process, but make sure you send the results of your hearing evaluation to the PRC Front Desk.

Submit an application to LTBB

 

WITHOUT THIS, YOUR REQUEST CANNOT BE PROCESSED

 

The providers we are contracted with will likely have you complete the form while you are in office and send it over to us. If they do not, it is your responsibility to submit it.

 

LTBB Health Services Navigator will review the documents

 

APPLICATIONS ARE REVIEWED AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK

 

The Health Services Navigator will review all documentation to
determine if the hearing aids are a medical necessity.

A letter will be mailed to you with the determination of coverage

 

IF APPROVED, ALL OF YOUR INSURANCES MUST BE EXHAUSTED PRIOR TO LTBB PAYING.

 

This program only covers $2,500 per hearing aid every four years. You are required and responsible for periodic maintenance and malfunctions with the established provider.

Do you reside outside of our 27 county area?


Start Here:

Talk to your provider to see if they will accept payment from LTBB.

 

SOME PROVIDERS WILL NOT ACCEPT PAYMENT, DESPITE YOU BEING APPROVED FOR COVERAGE.

 

If they do not accept payment, you need to consider if you are able to make the payment and wait to be reimbursed by LTBB.

Go to your Hearing Aid Evaluation
