Directional microphone programming allows you to hear the sounds in the direction you are facing, eliminating noise from all other directions and is perfect for noisy

environments. It also includes an anti-feedback algorithm, eliminating most, if not all, embarrassing squealing noises associated with other hearing aids. The “Shine II” circuit has three different settings which can be set up for optimal hearing in multiple listening environments. It includes a fully automatic telephone system that eliminates the need to locate hard-to-find buttons and switches. Just put the phone to your ear and it automatically switches to the telephone mode. The optional remote control fits in your pocket and allows you to discreetly change the environmental programs and adjust the volume with the push of a button.

4,600 Federal Blue Cross Blue Shield Hearing Aids Provided To Date!

Hearing aid benefits are becoming more and more common among Medicare Advantage insurance plans. Unfortunately, those benefits are not widely available among other insurance plans. Of course, there are always exceptions to the “norm”; for instance, the Blue Cross Blue Shield Federal Employee Program (BCBS FEP)!  If you have a BCBS FEP insurance plan, you have access to up to $2500 towards hearing aids. If you are looking for a local provider, Gardner Audiology in New Port Richey, FL is an in-network provider with BCBS FEP plans, and is currently accepting new patients! 

This benefit does not have a restriction as to what manufacturer, technology level, or style it can be used towards – which is a major advantage for patients since hearing aids are not a “one-size-fits-all” solution! Depending on what your lifestyle is like, or what your priorities are as far as hearing aid technology goes, our providers at Gardner Audiology in New Port Richey, FL can give recommendations for devices that will give you the benefit you need! Additionally, our providers are qualified to program hearing aids from all of the major manufacturers, and have supplies in-office to help with certain troubleshooting issues that may come up.  

Hearing aids have always been very  useful pieces of technology for patients who suffer from hearing loss. Just as any other product has advanced in technology over the years, so have hearing aids! For one, patients no longer need to worry about changing pesky batteries as many hearing aids are now available in rechargeable! What is also very handy, is that most hearing aids come standard with Bluetooth capabilities! Depending on the make and model of your hearing aid and cell phone, you can download a remote app to control volume and even some sound qualities! Some models even allow for streaming audio from phone calls and music!

What hearing aid is free to federal employees?

Federal workers and retirees may even qualify to get Eargos at no cost—thanks to their Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB). Check with your insurance provider for eligibility.

Is BCBS the same as BCBS FEP?

The Blue Cross and Blue Shield Service Benefit Plan, also known as the Federal Employee Program® (FEP®), has been part of the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program since its inception in 1960.

What is the difference between federal Blue Cross basic and standard?

Standard Option gives you the flexibility to receive care both in and out-of-network. With Basic Option, you can enjoy no deductible with care from in-network providers. FEP Blue Focus offers quality healthcare coverage from in-network providers, plus budget-friendly benefits.

Is BCBS FEP a PPO or HMO?

As a Preferred Provider Organization, or PPO, we have a network of doctors, hospitals and facilities that have contracted with us to provide medical services at a discounted rate.
