Bill,

I checked our Employee handbook under insurance here at Intergraph Corp.
Major medical insurance covers Prosthetic appliances/devices, etc., but
specifically EXCLUDES hearing aides of any kind.  They do cover Speech
Therapy if it is prescribed by a doctor for a medical condition and given
by a licensed therapist.  I think there are other employers around here
that do not cover speech for HI kids.

Would you post your findings, please?

Elisabeth
