Does Medicare Cover Hearing Aids In 2020? | Updated for ...
https://aginginplace.org/does-medicare-cover-hearing-aids-in-2020
"The Medicare Hearing Act has yet to be approved by the House and Senate. Under this Medicare Hearing Act, hearing aids for those with severe hearing loss would be covered. Unfortunately, this piece of legislation will not cover over-the-counter hearing aids and only includes one prescription hearing aid every five years". Not sure when this was written but Trump signed the bill (IN 2020) introduced by Dingle so it has been passed but not instituted yet. MEDICAID PAYS FOR HEARING AIDS SO IF YOU DON'T HAVE MUCH INCOME, YOU WOULD QUALIFY IF YOU HAVE MEDICAID. gINA

He is NOT on Medicaid—YET. He is on Medicare. I can hopefully get him to get another Starkey if I stress that the audiologist was the problem, NOT THE AID. She was not available to adjust it when it needed reprogrammed especially with him. He’s a complicated case and she underestimated him.
