GetBraille.com – Your Partner in Section 1557 Compliance

Understanding Section 1557

Section 1557 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA or A.C.A.) is a crucial civil rights provision that prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability in certain health programs and activities. This includes ensuring that individuals with disabilities have equal access to health information and services.
