As we approach the end of the year, we\u2019d like to reiterate that we are committed to providing a complete continuum of hearing care as well as ear, nose and throat care through our partnership with San Francisco Otolaryngology. All of these health services are streamlined in one location and offered by providers who discuss your care daily.<\/p>\n
As such, we\u2019d like to remind you of the importance of proactively managing your hearing health and taking advantage of your insurance benefits.<\/p>\n
If you have a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or medical insurance that covers hearing care or devices, you likely have funds that you need to \u201cuse or lose\u201d before the year ends.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t leave money on the table\u2014here\u2019s how to take advantage of your benefits before they expire:<\/p>\n
Get Hearing Care Through Your Health Insurance<\/strong><\/p>\n Several insurance plans cover hearing exams annually, so check yours!<\/p>\n Hearing often changes so gradually that you may not notice it\u2014but getting regular exams can help your hearing care provider detect and treat any changes as soon as possible.<\/p>\n Pay for Hearing-Related Items With Your FSA<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n You can use the pretax contributions you\u2019ve made to your FSA for any medical costs not covered by your insurance, including purchasing hearing aids, repairs and maintenance.<\/p>\n An FSA is an effective way to save for out-of-pocket medical expenses. However, most of the funds disappear at the end of each year (your plan may allow you to roll up to a certain amount over to the next calendar year). It\u2019s a smart idea to check your current FSA balance\u2014you could have funds available to help you hear your best.<\/p>\n If you have not had your annual hearing exam this year, call us at (415) 362-2901 today to schedule an appointment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As we approach the end of the year, we\u2019d like to reiterate that we are committed to providing a complete continuum of hearing care as well as ear, nose and throat care through our partnership with San Francisco Otolaryngology.
