Welcome to Blossom Hearing Center. We are happy that you have chosen to visit us to learn about your hearing and the options that are available to improve it. Our initial comprehensive evaluation and consultation is a no-charge appointment.

We ask you to call your insurance company before your first visit to ask what out-of-network benefits you have for hearing aids. Hearing aid coverage is a moving target, and whereas you may not have had coverage in the past, you may now have hearing aid benefits. We suggest that you call your insurance company and speak to a human rather than relying on a booklet or online information, and ask the following questions:

What coverage do I have for hearing aids purchased out-of-network?
How much reimbursement will I be allowed? How often?
What is my deductible?
Do I have to go to a particular practitioner to get this benefit?
What will my reimbursement be for an out-of-network provider?
Ask for a reference number for the phone conversation.

If you cannot make this phone call, let us know and we can help you get the information.

Not everyone who comes in actually needs hearing aids, nor do we twist your arm to purchase hearing aids. We teach you about your hearing and what can be done to improve it. Then you and your family will decide when it is right to move forward.

If you do purchase hearing aids, Blossom Hearing Center will provide you with paid receipts and HCFA forms that you will submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. We do not process insurance in our office. All hearing aids are fit with a 60-day return/exchange privilege.

Because hearing aids range in price, you will be better prepared to decide what is right for you if you arrive knowing what your insurance covers. Many people are surprised to find they do have coverage for hearing aids.

Since 2004, we have provided patients in Northern Virginia with the top-notch service they need to achieve the best hearing possible and promote improved brain function. We have been rated in Washington DC Checkbook Magazine with 100% User Satisfaction in unsolicited patient reports in their 2010 and 2013 reports. Blossom Hearing Center was also selected for the 2022 Best of Alexandria Award in the Audiologists category by the Alexandria Award Program. You will receive the attention to detail and chair-side manner you need to make your experience with us very positive.

We will call you the day before to reconfirm your appointment. If you cannot keep your appointment, please let us know by phone or email as soon as possible so that we can help another patient in your time slot.

Best regards,

Amy Bernstein, Au.D., Audiologist
