NC Medicaid DMA-0001 Hearing Aid Prior Approval

NC Medicaid uses DMA-0001 to request prior approval for hearing aids and related items, including ear molds, accessories, FM systems and repairs or replacements. Audiologists and otolaryngologists meet it when fitting a new aid or replacing or repairing one for a Medicaid beneficiary. The request lists each aid by manufacturer, model, type, style and invoice cost and describes the medical necessity.

Who completes it

The audiologist's or otolaryngologist's office completes recipient, diagnosis, provider and hearing aid information, describes medical necessity and signs as requesting provider. The beneficiary completes nothing.

Submitting and payment

How to submit it
Fax the form to NC Medicaid at the number printed on it, or submit the request through the NCTracks Provider Portal, which NCTracks prefers. Attach medical clearance, an audiogram, a written evaluation and warranty information.

Good to know

  • For replacement aids, give the reason for replacement and the original serial number, and state whether the aid is under warranty.
  • Item 26 asks whether the patient previously received this service, with the date rendered and the funding source.
  • FM system requests specify new, repair or replace, and whether a transmitter, receiver or audio shoe or boot is needed, with invoice cost.
  • Auditory implant sound processors use a separate form, DMA-0003. The current version is DMA-0001 V1.1, dated 03/2024.
