Hear clearly with two hearing aid benefit options
If you need hearing aids, the Fund has two great options to cover you.
The Fund covers up to $4,500 for your hearing exams, testing, and hearing aids once every three years through the University of Connecticut’s Speech and Hearing Clinic. Members enrolled in the medical plan can, instead, take advantage of coverage up to $700 once every three years through Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.
An improved dental benefit
Effective July 1, 2022, the annual maximum increased to $2,000 for some Fund members. Schedule your next teeth cleaning!
