The Update to Section 1557 regulations is FINALLY here! Released by the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office for Civil Rights, the highly anticipated updated regulations implementing Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act emphasize nondiscrimination standards for healthcare providers and health insurance companies. These updates mark a significant milestone by reinforcing stringent prohibitions against discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity among other factors), age, and disability.
Join us on May 22nd at 12:30pm ET to delve into the implications of the updated Section 1557 regulations for healthcare interpreters and the organizations they serve. CCHI Commissioner and Managing Director of Federal Advocacy at the National Health Law Program, Mara Youdelman, J.D., LL.M. will break down the intricacies of the regulatory changes and attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of how these changes may impact the patient populations that we all serve. In addition, the webinar will explore the practical implications for healthcare organizations and outline the steps necessary to achieve compliance with the updated regulations.
