What is the NC Health Information Exchange Authority (HIEA)?
The North Carolina General Assembly created the North Carolina Health Information Exchange Authority (NC HIEA) to oversee and administer the state-designated HIE (NCGS 90-414.7). NC HIEA receives input and advice from its Advisory Board, which consists of patients, hospital personnel, physicians, technology experts, public health officials and other key stakeholders to continuously improve the HIE network, now called NC HealthConnex, and to move towards more efficient and effective care.

Many of you may have been receiving correspondence from NC Health Connex. Please make sure that you immediately review any of the correspondence received from NC HealthConnex as this correspondence will impact reimbursement in your state.
