## Summary

**Coverage of hearing devices and systems.** This bill would require group and individual private health plans to cover cochlear implants, bone-conduction implants, external sound processors, and the related surgery, activation, maintenance, repairs, rehabilitation, and assessments needed for those devices. - Families and people with qualifying hearing loss would be eligible for device costs, preoperative and postoperative care, audiology visits, aural rehabilitation, and periodic upgrades or replacements every 5 years when applicable. - Group health plans and insurers would have to apply the same cost-sharing and treatment limits to these devices as they do to other medical and surgical benefits and could not impose separate copays or stricter limits. Plans also could not deny coverage when a physician or qualified audiologist determines a device is medically necessary. - Grandfathered plans would be brought into the same coverage rules, and the requirements would take effect for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2026.
