Why now
HHS’s final rule under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (45 CFR Part 84) requires recipients of HHS funding—including community health centers—to make their websites and mobile apps conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. The compliance dates are:
| Who | Deadline |
|---|---|
| Recipients with 15 or more employees | May 11, 2027 |
| Recipients with fewer than 15 employees | May 10, 2028 |

Fixed-scope Digital Accessibility Snapshot — $950
One public domain. Automated crawl of up to 100 public pages, inventory of the PDFs found there, automated analysis of up to 50 prioritized PDFs, review of up to three key public forms, caption signals on videos found in prioritized pages, and human validation of every finding that reaches the final report—10 to 15 prioritized findings with evidence, plus a 30-minute delivery call. Target delivery: five business days from scope confirmation.
This is a readiness assessment, not a legal certification and not an exhaustive WCAG audit. It does not cover authenticated patient portals, native mobile apps, or software controlled by third parties.
How it works
- Confirm scope We agree in writing on the domain and assets covered.
- Scan and human review Automated checks first; a person verifies what ships.
- Receive prioritized findings Evidence per URL, ordered by impact.
- Choose what to remediate Fix in-house or ask us for a remediation proposal.
Why PDF Accessibility Check
- Evidence, not overlays. We don’t install accessibility widgets; we document barriers and fix the underlying content.
- Documents and web in one inventory. Most tools stop at the homepage; patient-facing PDFs are where health centers accumulate barriers.
- Automation with human review. Automated testing cannot determine full conformance—every reported finding is verified by a person.
- Clear scope, accessible price. Built for small and mid-sized health centers, between the $39 widget and the five-figure consultancy.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a legal certification?
No. The Snapshot documents verifiable barriers and priorities. It is not a compliance certification or a legal opinion.
Does it include patient portals?
No. The Snapshot covers public content only. Authenticated portals can be scoped separately if you provide test access.
Do you remediate findings?
Yes—under a separate proposal, priced by scope, once you’ve seen the Snapshot.
Do you install an accessibility overlay?
No. The service focuses on evidence and structural fixes.
