The 2013 version of the Blue Cross Blue Shield Federal Employee Program covers hearing devices and related services for federal employees up to $5,000 per year for selected services.
In Rhode Island, group health insurance plans are required to include coverage for hearing aids for adults and children. For adults (age 19 and older), the benefit is $700 per hearing aid, per ear, every three years. For children (anyone under the age of 19), the benefit totals $1,500. The proceeds can be used toward all manner of health-care costs, including hearing aids and batteries. 2  A taxpayer in the 28-percent bracket who set aside $5,000 in such an account and used all of it for a $5,000 pair of hearing aids would reap an effective savings of $1,400.
