ADA Act Compliance and Remediation: An understanding for Dental Business Website Compliance

Your dental business could be vulnerable to legal woes that could cost thousands of dollars. Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is being understood to include a business’s website as “places of public accommodation”. This includes your business's website. It may not be your goal but if your website has unavailable components to it you may be exposing your company to fines and/or lawsuits. Persons with disabilities can see this is discriminatory against themselves and other individuals with disabilities and based on that view point your business's website might be in violation of Title III of the ADA Act.

The evidence is in and dental companies of all groups, even those with less than 15 workers are experiencing fines in record numbers. For dental offices specifically, your site needs to be ADA compliant and accessible. Website accessibility could be interpreted to mean that your websites functions are operational with remediation to those with disabilities. This means your website is easy to use and can also offer more business for your office.

As we move into 2021 and beyond it will be crucial to have a strategy in place to help make your website ADA usable and compliant. No dentist wants to be handed that confusing legal letter in the mail. Especially, since there are many offerings available for your group’s website. ADA website compliance fines are currently being administered against many companies to include dentists. The answer is to have a superior company work with you to limit that legal heartburn.
