When CDT-1 (Current Dental Terminology) codes are billed, an edit will suspend the CDT-1 codes requiring a change to a valid HCPCS code.

Hearing Aid Guidelines Hearing aids are considered prosthetic devices that assist in the performance of a natural function. Testing for hearing aids must be performed by a licensed audiologist or an otolaryngologist. The preferred types of hearing aids for most workers are programmable BTE, ITE, and CIC multi channel. Other types of hearing aids will be considered based on justification from the attending physician or authorized nurse practitioner. Without approval from the insurer or director, hearing aids should not exceed $5,000.00 for a pair of hearing aids, or $2,500.00 for a single hearing aid.
