Unbundled Pricing.

Pinnacle Audiology is independently owned and operated by audiologist Angela Sieh Ceretto. The clinic has been founded to provide personal high quality expert hearing care that is more affordable, with a fair and transparent unbundled pricing model. 

So what does unbundled pricing mean?  

In a nutshell, unbundled pricing is a pay as you go model. You and/or your insurance pays the provider for the services you need, when you need them. This model is the same model you encounter in primary care medicine, physical therapy, optometry and other health service settings.

How is an unbundled model different from what you will find elsewhere?

The standard model across most of the hearing industry is known as a bundled model. This means that, included or “bundled” into the purchase price of hearing aids, are ALL the costs of testing, fitting, programming, and servicing those devices over a specified period of time, such as 1 year, to 3 years or lifetime, regardless of how many of these service are used by the individual over that time frame.

The cost of the hearing aids are marked up a predetermined percentage to cover future cost of providing services. The advantage of a bundled pricing is simplified pricing. If the individual requires a lot of services those fees have been pre-paid. At the same time, the individual who requires fewer services over the same time frame has paid upfront for services they have not used and have therefore overpaid.  In essence the individuals who require an average number of visits in a year, subsidize those few individuals who require a greater than average number of services. In my opinion, this is unfair! 

An unbundled pricing model aims to address this unfairness. All services involved with proper, expert hearing care have an associated cost based on time required and resources used. Bundling those costs in with the price of the hearing aids, makes it impossible for the individual to identify those costs and see the true value of them. At Pinnacle Audiology, there is no arbitrary markup on hearing aids. Instead a fee is charged for each expert service performed, on every hearing aid regardless of technology level, and itemized separately from the cost of the aids. This way you know exactly what you are paying for at the time the services are rendered. This model allows for a decreased upfront cost and lowered barriers to care.
