Is my audiologist scamming me?

Doc’s know exactly how far they can push the insurance companies… the insurance companies will never be scammed.

The bottom line is she want’s to know if she is being scammed by her audiologist. The 8audiologist is charging her $7,000 for HA’s that aren’t top of the line and you can get elsewhere for between $4 and 5 grand, so the answer is she is being scammed.

I thought the Linx2 9 was the tops. Which do you mean; tops for Resound or tops overall?

The Widex unique Fusion 440 is $7,100 as quoted to me. I opted for the 330 because I had to draw the line somewhere and saved $900. I probably could have gone with the 220 and saved another thousand. Audi said I needed the 440. I’m doing just fine with the 330.

Who can you trust anymore!

Russ, there is a bit of confusion on just what level aid she got. She thought 7 at the start but it may be a 9.

True but her contract showed the 9. Assuming it’s the 9, is it worth 7K outside Costco?

She has no choice but to remain with a private dispensor so it’s pointless to factor in Costco.

Her cost is 2K unless she goes for less than tops.

It may be a scam outside of Costco but for her it may be worth it because 5K will be given.
