Bill overview

Ally’s Act aims to improve access to hearing healthcare by requiring private health insurance plans to cover a broader range of hearing devices and related services. This includes auditory implant devices, maintenance, upgrades, repairs, and assessments. The bill also establishes guidelines for cost-sharing on these services, ensuring they don't exceed the costs associated with similar services provided by in-network healthcare professionals. It amends several key pieces of legislation to achieve these goals.
