Recently, you may have received a letter from Anthem explaining that your TriHealth physician was Out of Network. Unfortunately, Anthem sent this letter in error and is working to correct as soon as possible. For now, we want to confirm that your TriHealth provider is still In-Network with your Anthem insurance. Please do not cancel any appointments or start searching for a new physician without consulting your insurance first.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We value you and are grateful for the trust you place in our TriHealth team to care for you and your family!

Health Talk Live: Hearing Aids and Masks

One unexpected consequence of increased wearing of masks to slow the spread of COVID-19 is that many people with hearing loss are losing their hearing aids when putting on or taking off their masks. According to Jessica Prewitt AuD, an audiologist with TriHealth, her practice has seen around 100 patients this year who have needed a replacement after losing theirs. Hearing aids can be a big investment, so this is not only an inconvenience, it can be expensive.

In this segment of TriHealth’s Health Talk Live with Local 12’s Liz Bonis, Dr. Prewitt shares some tips to help patients with hearing aids reduce the risk of losing them when putting on or taking off their masks. The segment also features Bill, a patient who demonstrates his process for removing his mask without pulling out his hearing aid.
