May 11, 2027 is the Section 504 deadline.
May 11, 2027 for practices with 15 or more employees; May 10, 2028 for fewer than 15. These dates are being challenged in federal court, which could restore earlier deadlines.
What Section 504 asks of your website
The HHS Section 504 rule requires health care providers that receive HHS funding, which generally includes Medicare and Medicaid, to make their websites and mobile apps meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA.
- The standard
- WCAG 2.1, Levels A and AA: the web accessibility guidelines published by the W3C.
- 15 or more employees
- Comply by May 11, 2027.
- Fewer than 15 employees
- Comply by May 10, 2028.
- Still in court
- A federal lawsuit filed in Maryland asks the court to restore the earlier deadlines.

How it works
-
Free scan
We scan five key pages of your site, including appointment and patient-form pages, and send a one-page report in plain English.
-
Full audit
Every barrier, documented: automated scans, then keyboard, screen reader, mobile and patient PDF form testing by a person.
-
Fixes
A step-by-step fix guide for your web developer, or we make the fixes for you, then retest.
-
Monitoring
Monthly rescans catch new barriers as your site changes, with a short report each month.
Start with a free scan
Send us your website address and you get a one-page report showing:
- How many accessibility problems automated testing finds, and how serious they are
- The top problems, explained in terms of your patients
- How many days you have until your Section 504 deadline
Automated tools find only some accessibility problems. Keyboard, screen reader and PDF form testing need a person, which is what the full audit covers.

AI lets us scan and document your site quickly, which keeps audits affordable for a small practice. But software alone cannot make a website accessible. Every finding in a SARTUS audit is checked by a person before it reaches you.
We don't sell accessibility overlay widgets. In 2025 the Federal Trade Commission ordered one overlay company to pay $1 million over claims that its AI tool could make websites compliant (FTC). We fix the site itself.
