Medicare would cover hearing aids and related services for people with hearing loss.
Currently, Medicare does not pay for hearing aids or related exams. This bill would change that, allowing Medicare to cover hearing aids and rehabilitation services for people with hearing loss. This means seniors and others on Medicare could get help paying for these important services. The exact start date would be set later by the government.
Today, Medicare does not cover hearing aids or examinations for them, and aural rehabilitation services are not explicitly included as covered medical services. If this bill becomes law, Medicare would cover hearing aids and aural rehabilitation services, including comprehensive audiologic assessments, threshold tests, hearing aid assessments, procurement, fitting, adjustments, instruction, and counseling, subject to specific definitions and frequency limitations.
