Maine LD167 mandates MaineCare to reimburse for two hearing aids for members with diagnosed hearing loss.
Maine LD167 amends the MaineCare program to require reimbursement for a hearing aid for each hearing-impaired ear of an individual enrolled in the program. The hearing loss must be documented by a primary care provider or an audiologist. Reimbursement for a second hearing aid is contingent on meeting specific requirements established by the department in rule, such as the individual's severity of hearing loss. This change aims to enhance support for MaineCare members with bilateral hearing impairments.
