On Tuesday, April 19, 2022, the Georgia Public Service Commission unanimously awarded the Georgia Charitable Care Network the contract to serve as the new administrator of the Hearing Aid Distribution Program beginning in May. The program, funded by the Public Service Commission, provides hearings aids to low-income Georgia residents. GCCN will coordinate the care referrals between the patients, audiologists and hearing aid manufacturers, providing great service to all.
Communications with all participating parties have begun to prevent as little interruption as possible to patients. Shirley Cooper, the most recent program director with the former administrator has joined GCCN as our Hearing Aid Dispatch Director!
PROVIDERS
PATIENTS
If you are an audiologist, or know of one who might be interested in participating in the Hearing Aid Dispatch Program, more info can be found HERE.
GCCN will begin taking new patients soon.
Several hundred patient applications were transferred to GCCN in late May from the previous program administrator, the Georgia Lions Lighthouse Foundation. These applications had not been processed and due to the length of time these patients have waited to be served, they are our priority during the month of June.
GCCN will begin accepting applications from new patients on Tuesday, July 5. Please check back here at that time to download the documents or call 888-551-1231 to request an eligibility application.
Thank you for your understanding!
