Healthcare
Understanding the unique needs of deaf and hard of hearing individuals is critical to accurate diagnosis and treatment. Improving healthcare for deaf and hard of hearing individuals begins with creating an accessible environment. By adopting best practices and embracing effective communication strategies, healthcare providers can improve outcomes. Health care providers can ensure that all patients receive the comprehensive care they deserve, by prioritizing accessibility practices.
Did you know that Medicaid providers are federally obligated to provide communication access services through New Jersey Managed Care Organizations (MCOs)? If you are a New Jersey Medicaid recipient, free interpreting services may be available.
