Lodestar question:

Is it your Advantage supplemental Medicare plan that covers hearing aids?
My Medicare supplemental plan (UnitedHealthCare-non Advantage) Plan G doesn't cover hearing aids.
I checked Medicare.gov just now and they say Medicare doesn't cover hearing aids but maybe some Advantage plans do. I got no letter

Shoot. My mistake. The letter is from my supplemental.

Sorry to be misleading.
