AN ACT AMEND TITLE 18 AND TITLE 29 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO HEARING AID COVERAGE.
Amendment SA 1 to SS 2 - Introduced and Placed With Bill
Summary
The bill amends Delaware law to define hearing‑aid devices and related services, then mandates that individual health insurance contracts issued or renewed after Jan. 1, 2009 provide coverage of up to $1,000 per ear every three years for dependent children under 24. It limits out‑of‑pocket cost‑sharing to 5% of the benefit cost and includes necessary parts, accessories, and pediatric specialist services. Insurers may still apply usual deductibles, managed‑care reviews, and can require a prescription, but the rule does not apply to limited‑benefit policies.
