The purpose of the Medicare Audiology Access Improvement Act of 2025 is to enhance the coverage of audiology services under the Medicare program. This legislation aims to improve access to hearing and balance assessment services, as well as treatment services provided by qualified audiologists. Key provisions of the act include the formal inclusion of audiology services in the list of covered services under Medicare. Starting January 1, 2027, qualified audiologists will be able to provide these services without requiring a referral from a physician or supervision by a physician.
