Eargo, Inc. and NationsBenefits announced a strategic partnership. The partnership will allow health plan members served by NationsBenefits to use their plan benefits towards purchasing Eargo Over-the-Counter (OTC) hearing aids starting on January 1, 2023. NationsBenefits currently serves millions of members across the United States by partnering with managed care organizations to provide customizable healthcare solutions through a diverse offering of supplemental benefits.

This comprehensive approach allows NationsBenefits to optimize delivery of value-based solutions for health plan members rather than focusing on a single benefit. Following the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)'s recent landmark regulation establishing a new category of OTC hearing aids, Eargo and NationsBenefits are focused through this partnership on creating a pathway for individuals with hearing loss that lowers barriers to care and offers increased access to high-quality, technology-advanced hearing aids and oversight that ensures people have access to the right products for their individual needs.
