Bill overview
This bill requires Michigan health insurers to provide coverage for hearing aids and related services for individuals who meet specific criteria. Insurers must cover up to $3,000 every three years for a hearing aid, with adjustments made annually based on the Consumer Price Index. The coverage requires an evaluation by an audiologist and a medical evaluation by an otolaryngologist to determine eligibility. Enrollees can choose to purchase hearing aids exceeding the coverage limit, but are responsible for the additional costs.
