Hearing Aid Financing

Precision Hearing is in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield (Texas plans), TriWest (which administers TRICARE and VA Community Care across South-Central Texas), and Workers' Compensation. Hearing-aid coverage still varies plan to plan — some pay a fixed allowance toward devices, some cover diagnostic evaluations only, and some require a primary-care referral.

Our Patient Care Coordinator verifies your benefits before the appointment, bills your carrier directly when your plan allows, and gives you a clear out-of-pocket estimate before you commit to anything. Call (210) 695-4708 with your insurance card handy and we'll start the verification while you're on the line.

CareCredit is a healthcare credit card built specifically for medical, dental, vision, and hearing-care purchases. Apply online in a few minutes and, if approved, your credit line can go toward your hearing aids the same day. Most patients choose a deferred-interest promotional plan — typically 6, 12, 18, or 24 months — meaning no interest as long as the balance is paid off inside the promo window.

Longer fixed-rate options are also available for higher purchases. Bring your CareCredit card to your fitting at our Babcock Rd office in San Antonio and we'll run it at checkout — no extra paperwork. Apply at carecredit.com.

For eligible veterans, hearing evaluations and hearing aids delivered through VA Community Care are typically covered with no out-of-pocket cost. The workflow starts with a referral request to your VA primary care provider, followed by a call to the Community Care Network at (210) 949-3850 (option 1) to confirm receipt.

Precision Hearing is in-network as Precision Hearing Conservation, Group NPI 1386343341. Once your referral is confirmed, call (210) 695-4708 to schedule at our Babcock Rd office. Both owners are US Navy veterans who ran the Navy's largest hearing conservation programs — service-connected hearing care is something they understand firsthand.

Yes. Hearing aids, batteries, accessories, and certain repairs are typically considered qualified medical expenses, which means you can use Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) dollars to pay for them — often pre-tax. Many of our San Antonio patients combine FSA or HSA funds with insurance benefits and CareCredit to cover the full cost without disrupting their household budget.

Rules and contribution limits vary by plan and reset each year, so confirm what's eligible and any spend-by deadlines with your plan administrator. Call (210) 695-4708 and our team will help you map out the best combination of insurance, FSA/HSA, CareCredit, and in-house monthly payments.
