Overview: Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act provides that current non-discrimination laws, such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964, will now apply to individuals and entities participating in any (1) healthcare program or activity that is paid for in part or administered by the Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") and (2) federally facilitated and statebased health insurance marketplaces (collectively "Covered Entities"). Section 1557 prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex and requires treatment of individuals consistent with their gender identity in federally funded healthcare programs. The law also reaffirms the previous prohibitions on discrimination based on race, color, national origin, disability and age within federally funded healthcare programs. Additionally, Section 1557 extends these nondiscrimination protections to individuals who purchase health insurance through the health insurance marketplaces. On May 18, 2016, the HHS Office for Civil Rights ("OCR") issued a final rule implementing Section 1557. The final rule became effective on July 18, 2016. This seminar will provide the background on Section 1557, its nondiscrimination requirements and federal enforcement activities.
