Lansing, MI – State Representative Dale Zorn and Rep. Samantha Steckloff introduced a plan to help ensure treatment for hearing loss and hearing aid devices are covered by health insurance for all Michigan children.
Zorn’s legislation, House Bill 4944, would ensure that Michigan children have insurance coverage through age 19 that covers treatment for hearing loss and up to $3,000 in coverage per hearing aid every 36 months.
House Bill 4936, sponsored by Steckloff, ensures coverage is available for audiological exams, hearing aid evaluations and maintenance, and audiologist or speech-language pathology services.
The legislation is similar to measures Zorn has sponsored in previous years.
