Legislative Notice
 Direct Access Bill Introduced
 The Academy's efforts on Capitol Hill have led to the introduction of the "Medicare Hearing Health Care Enhancement Act of 2007" (HR 1665 - Direct Access bill) in the U.S. House of Representatives. Sponsored by Representative Mike Ross (D-AR), this bipartisan legislation would allow Medicare beneficiaries the option of going directly to a qualified audiologist for hearing and balance diagnostic tests. Currently, Medicare requires that beneficiaries with hearing loss or balance disorders obtain a physician referral before seeing an audiologist. Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD) intends to introduce the bill in the Senate when he returns to the office. We urge you to Contact your Representative today and encourage them to sign on as a cosponsor for this bill.
