ADA + Section 508 scanner for healthcare websites
Healthcare websites face overlapping ADA Title III, HHS Section 504/508, and state-level disability rules. WCAG 2.2 AA is the consensus baseline.
Lawsuit pattern
Patient portals, appointment forms, and provider directories are common claim surfaces. Failing 1.3.1 or 4.1.2 on intake forms is a frequent lead exhibit.
Where it usually breaks
Patient intake forms
Missing labels and grouped controls fail 1.3.1 / 3.3.2.
Provider search
Filters and combobox patterns often miss ARIA roles (4.1.2).
PDF lab results
Untagged PDFs are not a WCAG pass — convert or remediate.
Telehealth video controls
Custom video players fail keyboard and captions criteria.
