The BC provincial government is making it easier to get hearing aids for those clients who are covered under the MSDSI program. The Ministry of Development and Social Innovation provides financial assistance to those with disabilities living in BC.
The process has become much easier as of April 1, 2015 where those who receive services via their care card, can give their care card number to their Audiologist and we are able to phone into the Ministry to determine eligibility for hearing aids.
The coverage for hearing aids through the Ministry is excellent. 100% of good quality hearing aids are paid for including a one year supply of batteries.
If you know someone who has put off getting hearing aids due to finances, email me and we can determine if they are eligible for this excellent program.
