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.
