OH SB93

Requires health insuring corporations and sickness and accident insurers offering basic health care services to also offer coverage for hearing aids as a rider to their policies.

Defines hearing aids as wearable instruments or devices designed to aid impaired human hearing, including attachments and accessories but excluding batteries and cords, distributed by licensed hearing aid dealers.

Mandates hearing aid coverage provide at least $1,500 per year over a three-year period with no deductible or copayment requirements, though coinsurance may apply.

Requires coverage to be available to persons of all ages and include related services such as initial assessment, fitting, adjustments, and auditory training according to accepted professional standards.

Applies to both health insuring corporations and sickness and accident insurers that offer basic health care services, with no applicability to insurers that do not offer such basic services.
