Want To Become A 1st Choice Provider?
1st Choice Hearing Benefits is a program designed to keep patient care and hearing aid selection in the provider’s and patient’s control. With the rise of TPAs, many of your patients with certain insurance benefits have opted to purchase/acquire hearing aids elsewhere because it was in their best interest financially. This could have resulted in them getting devices at facilities that provide sub-standard care. Utilizing 1st Choice Hearing Benefits allows you to offer an alternative option to these patients with certain insurance benefits to keep them in your practice where the can expect the highest possible standard of care.
Frequently Asked Questions
When do I use 1st Choice?
- Any patient with an insurance benefit that is only a discount or does not cover much of the cost of the hearing aids
- A patient who you think you may lose to a big box store or online retailer
- Chronic price shoppers
Does 1st Choice process insurance claims?
No, 1st Choice is an alternative to using insurance. In most cases, the patient will save money, time and the hassle of processing a claim with their insurance company.
Is the insurance verification a part of 1st Choice?
We have a contract with an outside company that performs insurance verification. This is a free service being offered by 1st Choice to our users. This service is also a way for 1st Choice to compile a list of every hearing aid insurance benefit in the country. The list will be kept in the portal so that eventually you will be able to instantly verify a patient’s benefit and offer them the 1st Choice alternative.
Do my patients have to be credentialed?
No, if your patient chooses 1st Choice for payment, then you simply place the order through the portal and your patient only needs to provide their payment information. There are no authorization numbers required.
Do I have to sign a contract or meet minimum requirements as a provider for 1st Choice?
No, there are no contracts to sign and no monthly requirements. Use 1st Choice when it is a good alternative for your patient.
What 1st Choice customers are saying
I am a provider in a busy ENT practice in Connecticut. We have been using 1st Choice as an alternative for our 3rd Party patients for over a year and I must say we are thrilled with the program and I would highly recommend it to any practice. Through 1st Choice we have eliminated the following: paying for insurance verification, denied claims, declining fitting fees, the frustration our patients experience when they have to deal with Insurance. The program is simple to use and our patients love how easy it is.
Thanks to 1st Choice Hearing Benefits our practice is now able to offer a competitive solution to our patients with 3rd party benefits. 1st Choice has allowed us to retain our patients while maintaining the high level of expertise, product offerings and service provided by our practice. 1st Choice has been a pleasure to work with and was willing to collaborate with us to customize their program to fit in with our practice model. I would highly recommend this as an option for patients with 3rd party insurance benefits.
