SOMERSET, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--On October 31, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced via final rule that auditory osseointegrated implants (AOIs) are not hearing aids and therefore will remain a covered benefit for those Medicare enrollees with qualifying indications.
For Oticon Medical, the ruling reflects the success of a concerted effort by professional organizations, bone anchored hearing device providers, industry and advocacy groups to educate policy makers to the value of bone anchored implants in advance of proposed CMS changes to withdraw coverage for bone anchored hearing devices. It has also renewed the company’s determination to expand understanding and appreciation of bone anchored implants among medical and hearing care professionals, insurance providers, regulators and the general public.
