ESCO and Audigy collaborating to develop programs that ensure patient satisfaction.
Plymouth, MN, November 7, 2016 – ESCO, the largest independent provider of extended warranties and Loss and Damage coverage, has announced a partnership with Audigy to provide extended insurance coverage at special pricing for Audigy patients who have lost hearing instruments and no longer have loss coverage through the manufacturer, or their manufacturers warranty has expired.
"We are proud to partner with ESCO,” said Audigy President Mason Walker. “This benefit aligns perfectly with our Patients for Life philosophy, as it’s designed to provide Audigy Members yet another differentiator to ensure total patient satisfaction. Patients can have the peace of mind that their hearing technology is covered in instances of loss or damage, and are certain to feel that their provider has their best interests in mind throughout the entirety of their better hearing journey.”
Under the agreement, the companies have partnered to make both: Protection Plus and Platinum Plan insurance coverage options available to patients through Audigy members . This coverage is for patients that have lost hearing instruments during their manufactures warranty, and for those who have had their manufactures warranty expire. Brochures for this plan will be sent to the practitioner, the practitioners will have the option to make this available to their patients or enroll them online.
"We are confident that our partnership will result in improved patient satisfaction for Audigy members. Patients will enjoy peace of mind knowing their hearing instruments are covered until it is time to upgrade their technology." said Jim Guthier, President, ESCO.
Once the initial loss occurs, the cost of repairing or replacing those new hearing instruments is the responsibility of the patient. With extended insurance coverage, you can extend your patients’ loss, damage and repair and provide them invaluable peace-of-mind.
Patients who purchase new hearing instruments during the period of coverage will be pro-rated for the remaining portion of the term.
