Contracted benefit network
NationsHearing Provider in McAllen, TX
Mid Valley Hearing Technologies is a contracted NationsHearing provider. If you have an Aetna Medicare Advantage plan, this is almost certainly the network your hearing benefit runs through.
What NationsHearing is
NationsHearing, operated by NationsBenefits, administers hearing benefits for a number of Medicare Advantage plans. It has handled the hearing benefit for Aetna Medicare Advantage since 1 January 2021.
The typical structure is a member allowance or fixed device pricing through a defined menu, plus a covered hearing exam, delivered through a contracted provider network. You choose the provider from that network, which is where we come in.
Good to know about how these benefits are structured
NationsHearing is not owned by a hearing aid manufacturer, which makes its menu somewhat less brand-skewed than the networks tied to WS Audiology, Sonova or Starkey. What it does share with the others is a fixed menu and fixed pricing, so the device list is still narrower than what is on the market. We will go over what your allowance covers.
