Forward(Recorded Webinar) Key Disability Rights Laws and the Role of the Health Center
This enrollment is closed to new enrollments. For more Regulatory & Payment Issue trainings, click here.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) was passed 30 years ago this summer. Most recently, the disability rights movement has been at the forefront of challenging efforts to the repeal the Affordable Care Act and to impose work requirements in the Medicaid program. With COVID-19 potentially having long-term health consequences, it is foreseeable that a larger proportion of the population will be contending with one or more disabilities in the future.
As with most other health care providers, health centers must comply with the ADA, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act which prohibits discrimination in federal healthcare programs. Yet unlike other health care providers, health centers are also affirmatively required to provide care in a culturally competent manner while promoting access and eliminating barriers to care. Health centers have an opportunity to support and complement the disabilities rights movement while complying with the federal laws they are bound to follow.
This webinar will provide an overview of the ADA, Rehabilitation Act and Section 1557 with an emphasis on how they overlap and interplay with health center program requirements. The presenter will provide examples of recent federal government enforcement efforts involving health centers and other health care providers.
