Can a worker obtain a hearing aid that exceed the fee schedule?
If a hearing aid exceeds the single unit manufacturer’s price of $700, the worker can enter a cost-share agreement with WorkSafeBC and the service provider. On a case-by-case basis, WorkSafeBC may consider exceptional circumstances and cover the full cost of the hearing aid over the $700 single unit manufacturers price. Prior authorization must be obtained before the trial period commences. See the Billing Guide for more information.
