P-9.2.1, r. 1 - Regulation respecting the application of the Act to assist persons who are victims of criminal offences and to facilitate their recovery
Section 158
Disposition versions
158. The Minister reimburses, up to a maximum amount of $500, the cost of purchasing a CROS or BiCROS system if the Minister has previously authorized the purchase and if the system is covered by a warranty with a minimum term of 2 years.
The Minister authorizes the purchase of such a system when it is demonstrated to the Minister that the person who is a victim is affected by one of the following conditions:
(1) the specific anatomy of their ear does not allow the fitting of a hearing device;
(2) they are subject to recurrent infections that make fitting impossible;
(3) they suffer from significant discrimination loss in one ear because of a personal condition that makes fitting impossible;
(4) they suffer from total hearing loss in one ear.
To meet this condition, the person who is a victim provides an attestation from a health professional indicating that fitting is impossible in their case and that specifies the condition involved. In the case of the condition specified in subparagraph 3 or 4 of the first paragraph, the person who is a victim may provide an audiological evaluation to that effect instead of an attestation.
For the purposes of this Regulation, a CROS or BiCROS system covered by a program administered by the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec is deemed to be under warranty for the 2-year period.
