Join us for a thoughtful session with Caitlin Sapp, AuD, PhD from UNC Hospitals Audiology. She’ll be sharing important new research on how Medicaid coverage doesn’t always translate into real access to hearing aids for children.

Dr. Sapp will walk through national billing data and provider surveys that reveal where audiologist networks are falling short, why participation in Medicaid is uneven, and how these gaps affect families trying to get early hearing care. The discussion highlights meaningful steps policymakers, clinicians, and advocates can take to improve equity in pediatric hearing services.
