Nations Hearing Benefits at a Locally Owned Provider
What Is Nations Hearing from Aetna?
Nations Hearing is a third-party administrator that manages hearing benefits for Aetna members. Aetna plans through work, Medicare, Medicaid, or the marketplace often route coverage this way. If your plan includes it, use it for testing, aids, and follow-up care. We are an in-network Nations Hearing provider serving Sioux Falls and Buffalo.
One quick clarification. We are Stanford Hearing, not Sanford Health. These are separate organizations, and your Nations benefit works the same with us.
Does My Plan Contain Aetna Nations Hearing Benefits?
The fastest way to confirm your coverage is to call us. Our patient care coordinators verify benefits every day and explain what your plan allows. Aetna plans vary widely in how much they put toward hearing aids. We check those details before your visit, so nothing catches you off guard. This is one of several hearing aid insurance benefits our team helps patients use.

Are Devices from Nations Hearing Locked?
Some sellers lock their hearing aids, so only that seller can service them. Locked devices tie you to one place for every repair, battery, and tune-up. We do not lock the Nations Hearing devices we fit at Stanford. You keep the freedom to get service from our team whenever you need it.
