Does my medical care card pay for hearing aids?

Your medical care card does not cover hearing aids. The following is a list of how hearing aids are paid for:

1. Privately-this is when you must pay the full cost
2. Worker's Compensation Board -you may qualify for coverage if you ever worked in significantly noisy environments.
3. Department of Veteran's Affairs-you may qualify for coverage if you were ever in the military.
4. Government financial assistance (i.e. MSDES, FNIHB)
5. Extended Health Benefits-if you carry extra insurance check the policy to see if hearing aids are covered.
