New Jersey Governor Signs “Grace's Law” to Provide Insurance Coverage for Children's Hearing Aids-
Noting that health insurers have a responsibility to provide coverage for necessary health care expenses, New Jersey’s Acting Governor Richard J. Codey signed legislation which will require all state-regulated health insurers to cover the cost of medically-necessary hearing aids for children 15 years old and younger.

"With today’s bill signing, we are making sure that the gift of hearing is not out-of-reach for New Jersey children living with hearing loss,” said Acting Governor Codey. “No child should be without access to medically-necessary hearing aids, which are especially critical in the formative years when kids develop the skills to speak and communicate. This new law is about guaranteeing children a level playing field to succeed, and build the skills they need to do well in life.”
