ACA Section 1557 Deadline Has Passed, Is Your Organization Compliant?
Get your required Language Access Plan developed by compliance experts and protect your organization from OCR investigations, discrimination lawsuits, and six-figure penalties that are increasing across the healthcare industry.
The Post-Deadline
The July 2025 ACA Section 1557 Language Access Plan deadline has passed. Here’s what this means for your organization:
- 87% of healthcare organizations are currently non-compliant with LAP requirements
- OCR investigations increasing 45% annually for language access violations
- $25,000-$100,000+ penalties per ACA Section 1557 violation
- Discrimination lawsuits averaging $100,000-$1M+ in legal costs and settlements
Real Consequences Healthcare Organizations Face:
- OCR compliance reviews triggered by patient complaints and routine audits
- CMS reimbursement risks for organizations failing federal compliance requirements s
- Joint Commission findings during surveys for inadequate language access documentation
- Malpractice exposure from communication failures leading to adverse patient outcomes
- Community relations damage and reputation risks in diverse service areas
With OCR enforcement activity increasing and post-deadline penalties escalating, every day without a compliant Language Access Plan increases your organization’s legal and financial exposure.
