State EHDI/UNHS Mandates: Summaries by Provision
Legislation related to early hearing detection and intervention has been passed by a majority of states. A tabular summary of the provisions contained in each state's legislation can be found here. Because the legislation related to each of these provisions is quite variable, however, NCHAM staff have excerpted the part of the legislation that relates to each of the following provisions:
- Requires Screening
- Advisory Committee Established
- Covered Benefit of Health Insurance
- Report of Screening Results to State Department of Health
- Provision of Educational Materials for Parents
- Informed Consent by Parents
- Liability Immunity
- Parental Objection Exclusion
- Definition of Hearing Impairment in Legislation
