It mandates that individual and group health insurance policies provide coverage for up to $1,000 per hearing aid per ear every three years for dependents under 24 years old. It also requires coverage for related services by hearing care professionals. The bill allows for higher-cost hearing aids if the insured pays the difference, subject to insurer reimbursement policies.
