We are providing on-site comprehensive Medicaid Managed Care education and assistance to healthcare providers across the state. More information and resources are also available on the NC Medicaid Website for Providers.
NC HealthConnex
NC HealthConnex is the state-designated health information exchange that enables one to manage population health and clinical outcomes more effectively. Let us help you navigate this platform and new features as they roll out. With NC HealthConnex, you can access your patients’ comprehensive records across multiple providers and review labs, diagnostics, history, allergies, medications, and more.

In-person and virtual training can be scheduled with any of the nine AHEC regions. NC HIEA and NC AHEC are collaborating to build out a training library of go-at-your-own-pace video training modules that will provide NC HealthConnex participants with valuable training and use cases to support adoption and utilization of the state-designated HIE.
