Enjoy better hearing
and comprehensive care
Good hearing is important to your health. That’s
why IU Health Plans Medicare Advantage plans
offer you a hearing aid benefit through TruHearing®.
Hearing aids can be expensive—an average
of $2,700 per aid1—but your benefit makes
addressing hearing loss more affordable with
copayments of $999 or less.

2021 Hearing aid coverage
Your plan covers up to two hearing aids per year.

                                                                                     *
