Beltone Introduces New At-Home Hearing Care Options for Patients During COVID-19 - PRNewswire

-

Recognizing that COVID-19, or coronavirus, is a serious issue for the patient populations typically using hearing aids, telehealth services can be a useful tool for both hearing care professionals and their patients.

"We are fully committed to helping our patients through this difficult time and have  accelerated the launch of this service to do exactly that," says Monte Dillow, president, Beltone. "Remote Care Live becomes even more important as patient access to in-person hearing care is limited as communities across the country implement measures to help minimize COVID-19 spread.

"We've seen the growth of telemedicine in various medical settings, but it has been a recent introduction to hearing care," Dillow continues. "With Beltone Remote Care Live, we have  taken it to a new level, making it easier on our patients and their families to access the hearing care they need."

Also in response to COVID-19, the Beltone Hearing Care Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that donates Beltone hearing aids to those in need, is now offering to ship free hearing aid batteries to people, especially seniors, that need them to keep hearing while safely at home. Anyone is able to request free batteries, regardless of hearing aid manufacturer, by calling 1-800-BELTONE or visiting the Beltone Foundation website. There is a limit of one package per customer and this offer expires April 30, 2020.

Well-liked Medicare plan vs. higher-ranked providers - ChicagoNow

Medicare Open Enrollment ends December 7. The easy choice is to stay with all-in-one Medicare Advantage instead of switching to Traditional Medicare plus a supplement and drug plan. The hard one is whether to switch between Medicare Advantage plans, from a well-liked one to one accepted at a so-called top-10 hospital. Humana Gold Plus, a Medicare Advantage HMO, has served me well for five years. Hearing aids cost me only $10 after its $2,000 allowance. Routine doctor and dentist appointments and my medication cost nothing. But Humana Gold Plus is not accepted by Northwestern Memorial Hospital, the nearby hospital that US News & World Report ranks as the tenth best in the country, or by Northwestern Medicine physicians. My primary care physician is in an Advocate Medical Group. If I were hospitalized, it would be at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center. If I had a serious illness, I’d see specialists in Advocate’s network. Illinois Masonic is not a second-rate hospital, and
