State Rep. Liz Hanbidge has reintroduced legislation to require insurers to cover prescribed hearing aids in Pennsylvania. The legislation, HB 1609, was introduced on August 8, 2023, and is now in the House Insurance Committee. We are asking all PAA members to contact their local Representatives, using both your home and office addresses, using this link. Rep. Hanbidge and her colleague, Rep. Joe Hohenstein, have been in conversations with interested parties prior to the introduction of this bill, and we believe we have a strong chance of passage, but we need your help. Please click below, and send the prepared email, which you are encouraged to modify to add your own personal experience with your patients' struggles with affording hearing care. We also need you to forward any responses you get from your legislators, so we know where they stand. Thank you.
