HCS/HBs 177 & 469 - Currently, reimbursable MO HealthNet services include hearing aids for eligible needy children, pregnant women, and blind persons. This act mandates MO HealthNet coverage of medically necessary cochlear implants and hearing instruments that are prescribed by an audiologist or dispensed by a hearing instrument specialist. This act is substantially similar to SB 317 (2025) and SB 1443 (2024).
