Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024
(a) This chapter is concerned only with hearing aids for eligible beneficiaries of the New Jersey Medicaid/NJ FamilyCare program. It is the intent of the program to furnish hearing aids and related services to eligible beneficiaries who can benefit from them.
(b) When a hearing aid is authorized and purchased on behalf of a Medicaid beneficiary, ownership of the hearing aid will vest in the Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services. The beneficiary will be granted a possessory interest for as long as the beneficiary requires use of the aid. When the beneficiary no longer needs the aid, possession and control will revert to the Division. The beneficiary shall sign an agreement to this effect as part of the process of authorizing purchase of the hearing aid.
