Menu6/3/16: Recently, the Department of Health and Human Services published its final rules implementing the anti-discrimination provisions of the Affordable Care Act. A publication released by law firm Holland & Hart explains the new rules, which center on requirements for language assistance for people with limited English proficiency. According to the Holland & Hart client alert, the rules go beyond earlier HHS guidance and apply specifically to healthcare organizations. Still, the provisions remind compliance professionals across the business spectrum of the scope of anti-discrimination requirements and the importance of addressing the needs of employees with limited English proficiency regardless of their locations or industries.
