Three major organizations have selected the American Hearing Aid Associates (AHAA), West Chester, Pa, network to provide discounted hearing health care services for their millions of members. The AHAA network comprises more than 2,000 hearing health care providers.

The new contracts are with Merchant Access Plan, a Salt Lake City-based national discount company with 8-12 million members; National Provider Network, a Yardley, Pa-based insurance company with 7 million members; and New Jersey Education Association based in Trenton, which has nearly 200,000 active and retired public school educators as members.

John Harrington, director of AHAA’s Managed Care Division, says, “These are significant additions to the growing number of contracts we are obtaining that will motivate more patients to use our network members nationwide.”
