Hello:
This information pertains to U.S. Veterans living in the area that have hearing aids and usually order their hearing batteries through the VA via eBenefits. In case you NOT have a local mail service/mailing address here in Panama and you do have your hearing aids delivered to the U.S., then shipped here to Panama ..... then this might interest you.
I contacted JR at We Care Pharmacy in David regarding this and he was unsure about the topic and directed me to Hear4U in David. Since I have dealt with the doctor directly in Miami, I contacted her and her suggestion was that it was easier for Veteran's to utilize the Denver, CO website, via eBenefits.
However, at the same time I texted her, I contacted FMP (via email) regarding the same topic. The following is a copy of our transmission:
Sir
Yes you can purchase them from a provider in Panama, just remember we need the invoice to show;
1. Name, type and serial number of the batteries, (to verify they are compatible for your hearing aid)
2. How many you are purchasing
3. Receipt of payment
4. Claim cover sheet.

Also, you can go onto Ebenifits online. You can order the batteries from there. They will ship via courier to Boquete to your house, post office or a mail place such as Eshop. I got a 2 year supply in one shipment. You will have had to register the hearing aid serial numbers of both hearing aids with FMP before ordering online.
