A Financial
Safety Net
This single parent of
a teenager was faced with extraordinary medical debt when insurance
denied coverage for her son's hearing aid. The hearing aid significantly
improved his ability to participate in all aspects of daily life
but the out-of-pocket cost was over $6,000 to the family. His mother
was overjoyed to learn that the Commission had approved an award
to reimburse her for the extraordinary cost of the hearing aid saying
that the Fund had given her son "the gift of sound."
