COVID-19 RECOVERY ACT EXTENDS HIE JUNE 1 DEADLINE N.C. Gov. Roy Cooper signed the COVID-19 Recovery Act (NCSL 2020-3) into law on May 4, 2020, which extends the requirement to connect to the state-designated HIE network, NC HealthConnex, from June 1, 2020, to Oct. 1, 2021. This deadline is applicable to all providers, including those who have shown a good faith effort to connect to NC HealthConnex and have a valid participation agreement on file. The extension is intended to allow the large queue of healthcare providers who are in active onboarding to complete the connection process. Depending on your EHR software, connecting to NC HealthConnex can take up 12 months. Note: Providers who have signed a participation agreement do not need to take further action. The NC HealthConnex technical team will reach out directly to providers as needed. Please email HIEA@nc.gov with any questions.
