HB 1731 -- Hearing Aids

Co-Sponsors:  Holland, Barry

This bill requires health insurance entities to provide coverage
for hearing aids for children under the age of 18, or for people
who have a documented hearing disability before age 18.  To
qualify, the hearing loss must be more than 30 decibels in the
speech frequencies.  The coverage may be limited so as to
reimburse expenses once every 36 months.  Reimbursement may be
limited to 80% of the actual cost.
