Is a hearing aid considered durable medical equipment?


Is a hearing aid considered durable medical equipment?

Some insurances refer to hearing aids as DME. Others do not. Not sure in what context you are referring.

Most insurances will specify if they cover hearing devices and do not lump them into DME categories. Talk to a live person at your insurance company and specifically ask them about your "hearing aid coverage".

It depends on your insurance - some plans let it fall under the DME rider, while others do not. Best to check your specific plan - or when in doubt, contact the vendor.
