Ohio ENT & Allergy Physicians has informed individuals about a data security incident, detailed in a report filed with Maine authorities on May 29, 2026. This notification indicates that patient information held by the specialized medical practice may have been accessed without authorization.
The information involved in this incident includes your Full Name, Date of Birth, Social Security Number, Medical Record Number, Health Insurance ID Number, Diagnosis and Treatment Information, Prescription Information, and Provider and Treatment Dates. Such sensitive data requires protection due to its potential misuse.
Exposure of this type of personal and medical data can lead to various risks for those affected.

Receiving a data breach notification letter means your specific information was part of this unauthorized access. It serves as a record confirming your data's exposure and prompts a review of your financial accounts and medical statements for any unusual activity.

What to do if you were affected

Place a free credit freeze with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. A freeze blocks new accounts from being opened in your name and can be lifted anytime.
Check for medical identity theft
Review the Explanation of Benefits statements from your health insurer for services or claims you never received, which can signal misuse of your medical identity.
Stay alert to targeted scams
Be cautious of calls, texts, or emails that reference this breach. Legitimate organizations won't ask you to confirm sensitive details through an unsolicited message.
Keep your notification letter
Save the notice you received. It documents that your information was involved and is often needed to enroll in any credit monitoring offered or to join a related legal claim.
