SB269 amends Delaware Code to enhance hearing aid coverage for dependents under 26 years old.

SB269 amends Title 18 and Title 29 of the Delaware Code to improve hearing aid coverage. 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. The changes apply to policies issued, renewed, or modified after December 31, 2027.
