Letter of financial eligibility
Once the completed forms and appropriate documentation are reviewed, we will send a letter indicating your financial eligibility determination. The letter will serve only as your notice of eligibility for the program – it is not a hearing aid purchase authorization.
Final approvals can be made only after the program has received complete reports and recommendations directly from an audiologist licensed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and a price quote from a participating hearing aid dispenser.
