Louisiana HB774 extends insurance coverage for hearing aids to individuals up to age 26.
Louisiana HB774 amends the state's insurance coverage requirements to include hearing aids for individuals up to age 26. Previously, coverage was only mandated for children under 18. This change ensures that young adults, including those in college or early in their careers, have access to necessary hearing aids. The coverage applies if the hearing aids are fitted and dispensed by a licensed audiologist or hearing aid specialist following a physician's medical clearance and an appropriate audiological evaluation.
