KEY INITIATIVE: DECEMBER 20th
Two-Factor Security Verification Begins for Healthix Portal Users

For those organizations using Single Sign On access to Healthix, or for those users who only come to the Healthix Portal for training purposes, you will not be impacted by the additional security verification.
This new security measure, mandated by the NYSDOH, is designed to further ensure the safety of Protected Health Information (PHI).
