Educational Webinar: Section 1557: Nondiscrimination Requirements for Healthcare Providers |
Section 1557 is the nondiscrimination provision of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The law prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability in certain health programs or activities. Section 1557 builds on long-standing and familiar Federal civil rights laws: Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975. This webinar will provide a broad discussion of the non-discrimination requirements of Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act; the meaning of discrimination under the Act; steps for providing meaningful access and effective communication to individuals with limited English proficiency; the development of a written language access plan; non-discrimination notice and tagline requirements; requirements regarding the translation of documents; particulars regarding sex, age, and disability discrimination in a medical setting; religious freedom and conscience protections; an update on litigation and trends that have developed since the implementation of Section 1557; and recommended training for implementation and compliance with Section 1557.
