NAD Settles Complaint Against Service Provider
"The NAD is committed to accessible health care services by deaf and hard of hearing individuals and their families. We are pleased that this settlement creates the necessary policy change to uphold ADA requirements," said NAD President Bobbie Beth Scoggins.
The company agreed to pay $7,500 and to modify its policies to provide auxiliary aids and services, such as qualified interpreter services, when necessary to ensure effective communication with deaf and hard of hearing patients and family members. "Health care providers cannot refuse to treat patients because a patient or family member is deaf or hard of hearing," said Michael Stein, attorney with the NAD Law and Advocacy Center. "The ADA requires health care providers to ensure effective communication with deaf and hard of hearing individuals."
