Audiology participation in third-party networks (TPNs) has been controversial in audiology practices for decades. This panel discussion will discuss the pros and cons of TPN participation in audiology practice and how, it is possible, to make it a win-win for the hard of hearing and the provider.

Upon completion, participants will be able to:

1. Define what a third-party network is
2. List examples of some TPNs and what health plans they represent
3. Explain the pros and cons of TPN participation
4. Describe how to effectively operationalize TPNs in practice
