AAHD Joins Comments on Section 1557 Proposed Rules

October 6, 2022 by NDNRC

The HHS Office for Civil Rights released proposed rules this summer which address the enforcement of ACA §1557. Section 1557 makes discrimination illegal in healthcare settings as it relates to several minority groups, including the disability community. Comments to the proposed rules were due to be submitted this past Monday, October 3. AAHD joined comments on the proposed rules from the following coalitions:

  • Coalition to Preserve Rehabilitation (CPR)
  • Consortium for Constituents with Disabilities (CCD)
  • Disability and Aging Collaborative (DAC)
  • Habilitation Benefits Coalition (HAB)
  • Independence Through Enhancement of Medicare and Medicaid (ITEM) Coalition
  • Partnership to Improve Patient Care (PIPC)
