The North Carolina Division of Health Benefits (DHB) will provide a Limited Data Set of Protected Health Information (“PHI”). These Medicaid paid claims data will include six (6) years of historical provider, beneficiary, paid claims (and encounter) data with a one (1) month lag. Specific variables that will be provided monthly include provider variables, member variables, claims variables, and supplemental claims variables. Under the Agreement with the DHB, UNCG is a “Limited Data Set Recipient” as defined in HIPAA. UNCG and the DHB will cooperate to coordinate oversight processes that will screen requests by UNCG researchers for access to the DHB data.
