Making Insurance Co’s Pay for Implants

State Lawmakers in Wisconsin are considering passing a law that would require insurance companies in the state to cover the cost of hearing aids and cochlear implants for children under the age of 11. A representative for Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce says the passage of Assembly Bill 133 would raise the cost of insurance for everyone in Wisconsin. The bill has already passed unanimously in the state Senate and awaits a vote by the Assembly.
