MADISON, Wis.—March 18, 2022—WPS Health Insurance and WPS Health Plan (collectively WPS) have selected, effective January 2022, Hearing Care Solutions as their new hearing program vendor. The program will be available to all our customers who are covered by our senior, group, and individual health insurance product lines.
WPS recognizes the importance of hearing care and the impacts of hearing loss on the overall quality of life, as well as the implications of having multiple diseases or conditions when hearing loss is one of them.
“As we age, hearing naturally diminishes, but correcting it can be far easier than some of the problems hearing loss may be related to,” said Tiffany Bauer McDonald, WPS Director of Insurance Product Development and Innovation. “We know that hearing loss is linked to a higher risk of falls, accelerated rate of cognitive decline, greater social isolation, greater risk of dementia, and more. Partnering with Hearing Care Solutions allows us to provide fixed, discounted pricing for high-quality hearing care product services. ”
Through our hearing program, all WPS customers receive:
All hearing aids purchased through the hearing program include:
Hearing instruments purchased through the hearing program include features such as:
