HIPAA Consultant Services

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 is a federal law that requires compliance for any health plan, clearinghouse, or provider that creates, sends, or receives protected health information in an electronic format. Local public health departments across North Carolina are in various stages of their compliance efforts and some are just beginning. Due to the need for guidance and as a result of a collaborative effort between the NC Association of Local Health Directors and the NC Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Public Health, consultant services are being provided to assist local public health departments in North Carolina in their compliance efforts.
