Deaf and Hard of Hearing Patients: Providers' Obligations

Deaf and Hard of Hearing Patients: Providers' Obligations

Claims by deaf and hard of hearing patients against their healthcare providers are increasingly common. These claims tend to allege that providers fail to provide in-person interpreters or that they delay treatment or refuse to accept deaf or hard of hearing patients. All of these claims are violations under several longstanding disability civil rights laws. Yet, not all providers know about their obligations to deaf patients, and the wrong assessment is likely discriminatory under disability civil rights laws.
