We are accredited to bill Medicare Part B (Original Medicare) for Elitone or Elitone URGE. PPO plans, including Medicare Advantage PPO plans may cover part of the cost.
HMO, Medicare Advantage HMO and private plans will likely NOT cover Elitone, and we will be out of network. Some patients choose to contact their insurance provider directly to request a pre-authorization or coverage review based on medical necessity. You want to make sure you mention that you have a prescription from your doctor. In addition, it is important to add that Elitone is billed under HCPCS code E0740, which is a covered medical equipment code used by Medicare and many insurance plans.
When your device is processed through insurance, any patient responsibility amount (such as coinsurance or deductible) is applied toward your plan’s annual deductible and out-of-pocket maximum. This means that even if you have some upfront cost, the amount you pay is credited within your insurance plan.
Note: It is very difficult to get reimbursement after a purchase, so we do not recommend that path.
