| WHAT? | District 11-D2 Hearing Aid Program Richard A Roose, Chairman I would like to take this opportunity to explain a couple of changes that have been made to the District Hearing Aid program this year. First, due to the increased time that Beltone Hearing Center has to spend with the patients that we the Lions send to them, the cost of the office call and testing has been increased to $225.00, this increase is still a reduced cost over their regular price. Second, I have made a change to the consent form which you will fill out when you have a person who needs a hearing aid, the top half you fill out and send with the person, they need to take it with them to the Beltone at their scheduled appointment, which will need to be set by your club or the patient, the bottom half you send to me with a check to cover the cost of the office call and testing, the change is, now your check is made out to the District 11-D2 Hearing Restricted fund not to Beltone, this change will help us keep better track of the number people we help with hearing aids. As always the district will continue to pay for the recycled hearing aids we purchase from R&L labs, in the ear for $89.00ea or behind the ear for $79.00ea. These changes are simple and should in no way change the way we help those in need.
We also
have opportunities for hearing aids if for some reason your club cannot
help
financially, we can send those patients to Lions Of Michigan Hearing
Center at
no cost, if you have a candidate for hearing aids this way please
contact me
and I will relay all the information and forms to you and your club. |
