Regardless of the size of your organization, HearPO can customize a hearing program to fit your needs.
Experts in Workers' Compensation Claims.
"For workers, noise induced hearing loss is the most common occupational disease and the second most self-reported occupational injury. Studies estimate a 50-70% reduction of income received for workers with untreated hearing loss as compared to that received by their non-hearing impaired peers." Hearing Loss Association of America. 10 Sept. 2007.
HearPO was the first company to administer workers' compensation benefits nationally. In 2006, HearPO processed over 4,100 Workers' Compensation hearing loss claims. Our diverse programs allow us to administer benefits for individual employers and national third party administrators. We provide professional review and interpret what is medically necessary for workers' compensation claimants.

Our current programs cover over 100 million consumers from national insurance groups to local employers
