While all A&M System employees and retirees are eligible for a hearing aid discount through AHAA or may enroll in the Spectera vision plan, if you are in an A&M Care health plan, you have additional alternatives for hearing and vision discounts.
The BlueCross BlueShield of Texas hearing discount program is available in many areas of the country through TruHearing, a program that provides the latest technology on 100 percent digital hearing instruments. TruHearing provides a free hearing screening and offers discounts on hearing aids purchased from the provider who performs the hearing test.
Your children, parents and grandparents are eligible for the discount, even if they are not enrolled in an A&M Care plan.
No claim forms are required, and discounts are provided at the time of purchase. Typical discounts are 30 percent off the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) for the provider’s least expensive product and 60 percent off MSRP for more expensive products.
TruHearing also provides a two-year warranty on all products and a 45-day money-back guarantee.
To take advantage of the A&M Care plan’s hearing discount program, call TruHearing’s toll-free number, (877) 882-2020. TruHearing will locate a provider in your area and schedule an appointment. You’ll need to show the provider your A&M Care ID card. If the appointment is for a non-covered member, such as a child, parent or grandparent, you must accompany them to the appointment and present your A&M Care ID card.
For more information, see the TruHearing flier.
A&M Care plan participants can also take advantage of a discount vision program offered by Davis Vision, Inc., a national provider of routine vision care services, through BlueCross BlueShield of Texas.
To receive the discounts, call a network provider and schedule an appointment. Identify yourself to the provider as a Davis Vision plan participant and present your A&M Care ID card. Your Davis Vision ID number will be the same as the number on your A&M Care ID card.
