On April 14, 2026, my son (14 years) had an appointment with Dr. Luke Pickar for a routine hearing…read moreexam. With my insurance, Regence, this should have been a covered in full as one routine hearing exam is covered per year. We went to the exam and the doctor asked why we were there and I stated to get a routine hearing exam to get a baseline for my kid because he wears headphones quite a bit. The exam was completed in less than 15-20 minutes and the doctor stated everything looked fine and there were not any issues. The problem arose when I received the bill. The routing hearing exam was not covered in full. None of my charges were covered in full as it actually was not charged as a routine hearing exam. I had four charges totaling $211.72. This is my cost after insurance pays their portion. The first charge was for an office visit for $200 (allowed amount $150.68). The code was 99203 which is new patient office visit 30-44 minutes. I disagree that there should be an office visit charge for a routine hearing exam but in this situation the code should be 99202 which is a new patient office visit from 15-29 minutes. After speaking to Regence, the billing would be ($98.01 allowable) for a visit lasting between 15-29 minutes. My appointment was at 7:30 am (the time they open so I could not have arrived and started appointment early) and after checking my Blink camera to verify what time my son and I arrived home, I verified that we arrived home at 8:04 am. We live 4.7 miles away and it takes 10 minutes without any traffic. At that time of morning there is traffic. The next two codes are 92557 (comprehensive audiometry threshold evaluation combined with speech recognition testing) charged at $120 (allowable $38.29) and 92567 (tympanometry, a diagnostic test that evaluates middle ear function by measuring eardrum movement in response to varying air pressure) charged at $60.00 (allowable $16.91). The final code is 92628 (covers the evaluation of a patient's candidacy for hearing aids, including assessment, counseling, and review of test results). This was charged at $500.00 (allowable $250.00). The review of the test results, which should probably be pretty standard, consisted of the doctor saying that everything was normal. When I first saw the bill, I assumed that there must be an issue that could be easily resolved so I called the billing department at Complete Hearing and Balance and spoke with Winter. She went over the charges and explained that the office visit charge is standard and that is how the doctors get paid for their time. I questioned the fact that a routing hearing exam was covered by my insurance and an office visit charge should have been disclosed but she reiterated that it was standard practice. She stated that you could get a hearing exam at Costco for free. I thought to myself that I didn't see that Costco took my insurance. The charge for code 92628 she said would be taken off and must have been added by mistake because many customers need hearing aids. I ended the call feeling that I need to ask medical providers billing codes and bill estimates prior to any appointment because my assumption that the covered services would be covered was incorrect. This morning, after sleeping on this a couple more days, I decided to call Regence to ask them if there are any providers that do routine hearing exams that are fully covered without an office visit charge. I had checked the list of providers on the regence website, and I only noticed similar audiology providers similar to Complete Hearing and Balance. The agent was not able to tell me if there were any providers that do not charge for an office visit in addition to a hearing exam. During this conversation, I got the billing codes and thought I might have a billing code for a routine hearing exam. I was encouraged by the agent to call Complete Hearing and Balance and ask for explanation or an audit of my bill. I spoke again with Winter. I gave her a code Z01.10 thinking that applied as a routine hearing exam. She said that it did not and explained that they do not do routine hearing exams and that they only do comprehensive hearing exams. I questioned why when they are an approved provider for my insurance that covers a routine hearing exam yearly and I believe what she stated was that insurance doesn't dictate the exam that they provide. She also told me that she contacted the provider and they will not be removing the $500.00 charge as this exam required the doctor's expertise as I stated I wanted to get a baseline because my son wears headphones quite often. To be clear, my son has never had any medical issues of any kind, did not complain of headaches, ear pain or anything. The test proved to be normal without any issues. We never spoke of ear care, the prospect of hearing aids or any pending issues. Be careful with this place. Make sure you get your billing squared away prior to your appointment. I wouldn't trust them again.

When I first had them fitted and adjusted the audiologist told me to come in if I had any problems with them. After experiencing these problems I made an appointment and when I arrived I was told I would have to pay $75 to see the audiologist. This is unacceptable- if the device is not working the company should stand by their product and do all they can to correct the issue. I will not be doing business with this company any longer and will not recommend them to anyone.

I'm glad I did. The care I received in this office was outstanding. Friendly office staff and an excellent technician, who really knows her stuff, led me to choose the Phonak Infiniti model. The technician spent a lot of time reviewing options before we chose this model. She told me about the previous model and the improvements they made with this release. Even though I could have gotten the previous model for no out of pocket, I chose the current model, with a new chip, for a reasonable out of pocket price. The result has been great. The hearing aids are virtually invisible, Bluetooth enabled, charge on my nightstand (no batteries!) and have really helped my hearing. TV volume is down, my reliance on subtitles is greatly diminished, my hearing in crowded places is enhanced and, on my daily walks, I've noticed I pick up what passers by are actually saying, not a garbled mess. AudioNova seems to take after the sale service seriously. I had a follow up to fine-tune sound amplification, I'm tasked with bringing them in every four months for cleaning and the office has a daily drop-in hour for questions, adjustments and the like. I can heartily recommend AudioNova if you, like me, want to enhance your audio acuity.
