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. CCHI Commissioner and Managing Director of Federal Advocacy at the National Health Law Program, Mara Youdelman, J.D., LL.M. breaks down the intricacies of the regulatory changes and explains how these changes may impact the patient populations that we all serve. In addition, her presentation explores the practical implications for healthcare organizations and outlines the steps necessary to achieve compliance with the updated regulations.
