Member News

The MHA hosted the Section 1557 Readiness Workshop Dec. 10 with MHA Endorsed Business Partner (EBP) AMN Language Services as part of the ongoing effort to advance the health of individuals and communities. This session was the first of a three-part series designed to provide essential tools and insights to ensure compliance with the Affordable Care Act’s Section 1557.

Guest speakers Carla Fogaren, RN, national operations, equity and language access consultant, and Drew Stevens, Esq., legal counsel at Parker Hudson Rainer & Dobbs, guided participants through:

  • Key responsibilities of the newly required role of a Section 1557 Coordinator.
  • Posting of compliant nondiscrimination notices.
  • Implementing grievance procedures and document retention policies.
  • Legal implications and best practices.

“We must be explicit and intentional in removing barriers to care,” said Ewa Panetta, director, Community Health Impact and Engagement at the MHA. “The healthcare community plays a critical role. Evolving standards and regulatory requirements are calling for more action to address health outcomes and language access.”

Workshop attendees also received exclusive take-home resources, including a Section 1557 Coordinator requirements guide, Notice of Nondiscrimination example with fillable templates and samples of compliant written procedures.
