Novant Sharing of Health Information with Meta Pixel Complaint

November 10, 2022

Medical information (also known as protected health information, or PHI) is supposed to be kept private, under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) as well as other laws. The complaint for this class action brings suit against Meta Platforms, Inc. (formerly known as Facebook, Inc.) and Novant Health, Inc., alleging that Novant made an advertising agreement with Meta that involved sharing patient information with Meta, including the patients’ personally identifiable information (PII) and PHI, and passed the information on to others.
