are no dispensing fees for members.
An unconditional 45-day refund policy on hearing aids will be provided
to the member. However, the provider shall be entitled to retain a fee
of $35 per returned hearing aid plus a custom earmold charge, if required.
Return policies vary from state to state. State law supersedes NECP policy.
Any hearing aid not defined above is reduced 20% from the provider’s
usual charge.

may vary per region.
