Blanchard Valley Hospital, Bluffton Hospital and EasternWoods Outpatient Diagnostic Center will not be affected by the recent Anthem announcement to limit health insurance coverage of high end radiology services in the hospital outpatient setting.
High end radiology services include computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
This recent announcement may affect certain areas of Ohio, but will not affect Blanchard Valley Health System (BVHS) or its facilities.
Bluffton Lions Ed Yeager (pictured), Tom Edwards, Elaine Harris, Arliss Plaugher and Barbara Plaugher along with Don Hostetler’s wife, Joyce, helped to examine children at the beginning of the school year in several area schools.
Students examined were at Bluffton Elementary, Allen East Elementary, Hilty Home Day Care, Bluffton Pre-School and the County Line Day Care facility in Bluffton.
A total of 230 children were screened with 17 children failing the screening test. Failed screens are referred to parents for follow-up with their local eye doctor.
By the end of the working day today (Friday, Oct. 20) the Bentley Road Interstate 75 overpass will be open to traffic, according to the Ohio Department of Transportation.
The southbound entrance ramp (to Lima) onto I-75 may be delayed until power for a traffic signal at the ramp is open. At 8:30 a.m. this morning the status of the signal was not yet resolved.
The overpass, which includes a bridge over the Norfolk Southern Railroad and Interstate 75 was closed on June 5 for repair.
