Does health insurance cover tinnitus treatments?
Health insurance rules can vary immensely by state. And private health insurance can be far different than public programs like Medicaid or Medicare. It is possible that initial visits to an ear, nose, and throat doctor or audiologist are covered by insurance, but it is also possible that many tinnitus treatments are not covered because they are considered experimental. Other treatments, like hearing aids, are not covered at all because they are expensive, and insurance companies don’t have to cover them.
