Official Summary

Congressional Research Service summary

Medicare Audiology Access Improvement Act of 2023This bill provides for Medicare coverage of certain audiology services. Specifically, the bill expands coverage to include diagnostic and treatment services that are furnished by audiologists and that would otherwise be covered if provided by a physician, including incidental services, regardless of whether such services are provided pursuant to a referral from, or under the supervision of, a physician or other health care practitioner.

Key Points

Main provisions of the bill

The bill would cover audiology services that are currently only covered if provided by a doctor, even if the service is performed by an audiologist.
This includes diagnostic tests and treatments, as well as any incidental services provided by an audiologist.
The goal is to make it easier for people on Medicare to access audiology care and treatment.

How This Impacts Americans

Potential effects on citizens and communities

If this bill becomes law, people with Medicare would have more flexibility to see audiologists directly for hearing-related issues and treatments, without needing to first get a referral from their primary care doctor. This could make it easier and more convenient for older Americans and those with disabilities to get the audiology care they need.
