Lots of people with Health Anxiety also have some level of OCD. Some of us even refer to Health Anxiety as "Health OCD". All of the OCD books I've bought cover hypochondriasis or Health Anxiety to some extent and likewise, the books I have on Health Anxiety also cover a bit of OCD "rituals". CBT is the most talked about currently "prefered" course of action for both OCD and Health Anxiety.
