TMHP does not require prior authorization for hearing aids and related procedures. Retain reported audiological and medical information in the client's file until requested. The hearing evaluation must be recommended by a physician (with written medical clearance) for the fitting of a hearing aid by completing the Physician's Examination Report. The Hearing Aid Evaluation Report must include an audiometric assessment. This form must provide objective documentation to support improved communication ability with amplification.
