The Senior Answers and Services Hearing Program is administered by CGS
About the Program
Applicants must be a minimum age of 60 years old and must reside in the Denver metro area (Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Clear Creek, Denver, Douglas, Gilpin and Jefferson counties). Applicants are screened for social and economic need and in accordance with OAA guidelines, services will be prioritized to those in the greatest need. Applicants will choose their own hearing specialist (known as an audiologist), who must agree to accept a Hearing Program Grant as payment for services.
Here’s the process for approved applicants:
1) Initial evaluation.
An initial exam is performed by a hearing specialist known as an audiologist. This exam will determine the patient’s need as measured by audiometric deficiencies.
2) Proposal for Treatment
The audiologist will forward a proposal for treatment (including the type of aid to be provided and any additional necessary insertion services) to CGS, who will then determine a final grant for services.
3) What’s Eligible
The program will pay up to $750 per aid and $60 per molding if necessary. The full fee schedule is available upon request.
3) Payment for Services
Payment will be made only after all work has been fully completed. Without exception, patients are NOT eligible to receive payment. All work must be received and approved in writing before payment for services is made.
3)How to Apply
At this time there is very limited funding, however, seniors in need may still apply. (Your name will be added to a waiting list and you will be notified when your application is approved.)
