Join us for an essential webinar designed to help EMS providers understand their obligations under Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability in certain health programs and activities.

This session will provide a clear overview of the updated regulatory requirements and how they apply specifically to EMS agencies, including:

• The scope of covered entities and services
• Language access obligations, including requirements for interpreter services and translated materials for non-English speakers and those with communication-related disabilities.
• Protections against sex-based discrimination, including gender identity and sexual orientation.
• Notice and grievance procedures for patients and employees.
• Policy & Procedure, documentation, and compliance requirements under the revised 2024 Final Rule

It is critical that EMS providers understand that patients cannot actively participate in their healthcare unless they can meaningfully interact with their caregivers. Participants will gain practical guidance on policy development, staff training, and risk mitigation strategies to ensure compliance and reduce liability.
