Hearing aids are generally not covered by health insurance companies, although some do. Financing is usually available. Medicaid will pay for the diagnosis and treatment of hearing loss, including hearing aids for eligible children and adults.
Medicare does not cover hearing aids for adults; however, diagnostic evaluations are covered if they are ordered by a physician for the purpose of assisting the physician in developing a treatment plan. Since Medicare has declared the BAHA a prosthetic device and not a hearing aid, Medicare will cover the BAHA if other coverage policies are met.
