Hearing Device Coverage Clarification Act

This bill clarifies that Medicare must cover fully implanted active middle ear hearing devices as prosthetics, not as hearing aids. It requires the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to update its rules within 60 days of the bill's enactment to remove these devices from Medicare's hearing aid coverage exclusion. This directly affects Medicare beneficiaries who rely on these specific implanted devices for hearing. The change means these devices will now be covered under Medicare's prosthetic benefits, not excluded under hearing aid rules, without altering existing coverage for other hearing aids.
