Hearing Aids for Government Employees Pakistan - Benefits

Government employees in Pakistan, both serving and retired, may be eligible for hearing aid benefits through various medical allowance and reimbursement schemes. Understanding these benefits can significantly reduce the financial burden of purchasing a hearing aid. This guide explains the options available to federal and provincial government employees.

Federal Government Medical Benefits

Federal government employees and pensioners in Pakistan are entitled to medical facilities under the Medical Attendance Rules. These benefits may cover hearing aids under the following provisions:

• Medical Allowance: Serving employees receive a monthly medical allowance that can be used toward hearing aid purchases.
• Medical Reimbursement: Employees can claim reimbursement for medical devices prescribed by a government hospital ENT specialist.
• PIMS and Government Hospital Referrals: A referral from PIMS, Military Hospital, or another government hospital can support your reimbursement claim.

How to Claim Hearing Aid Reimbursement

Step 1: Get a Medical Referral

Visit the ENT department of a government hospital (PIMS, Military Hospital, Polyclinic) for a hearing test. Get a written recommendation for a hearing aid specifying the type and model needed.

Step 2: Purchase from an Authorized Dealer

Buy your hearing aid from an authorized dealer like us. We provide a proper invoice with the company NTN, hearing aid serial number, and warranty card, all of which are required for reimbursement.

Step 3: Submit Your Claim

Submit the following documents to your department's medical reimbursement section:

• Doctor's prescription and referral letter
• PTA hearing test report
• Original purchase invoice with NTN
• Hearing aid warranty card with serial number
• Medical reimbursement claim form

Military Personnel Benefits

Serving and retired military personnel can access hearing aids through Combined Military Hospitals (CMH). Many choose to purchase from authorized private dealers like us for faster service and wider model selection, then claim reimbursement through their medical benefits.

Provincial Government Employees

Provincial government employees in Punjab, Sindh, KPK, and Balochistan have similar medical allowance schemes. Check with your department's accounts section for specific reimbursement limits and procedures.
