Accessibility Isn't a Checkbox

In this episode, LegitScript's Naomi Moono sits down with Michael Williams, co-founder and CFO of Clym, to unpack one of the most common misconceptions in healthcare compliance: that installing an accessibility widget is enough to satisfy ADA requirements.

They cover why ongoing auditing and remediation matter, what's driving the surge in ADA-related litigation, and why accessibility is especially critical for behavioral health and addiction treatment providers, whose patients are often reaching out during their most vulnerable moments.

The Privacy Patchwork

LegitScript's Naomi Moono and Clym's Michael Williams dig into why HIPAA is only one piece of a much larger privacy puzzle. They break down how the shift from one state privacy law in 2020 to twenty-three today has created a compliance patchwork that follows businesses across state lines, why "moment in time" compliance efforts fail the moment the law changes, and what's uniquely at stake when handling substance use disorder and behavioral health records — where 42 CFR Part 2 adds another layer of protection, and where a patient's trust in privacy can be the deciding factor in whether they seek care at all.

Transparency and Advertising Under Scrutiny

LegitScript's Naomi Moono and Clym's Michael Williams tackle the two sides of advertising compliance: what a business says in its ads, and the tracking technology behind how those ads get delivered.

They cover the growing wave of litigation tied to tracking pixels and old wiretapping laws, why advertising and privacy compliance can't be treated as separate boxes to check, and how LegitScript's advertising and patient services standards, including a ban on third-party business names in addiction treatment ads, are designed to keep what patients see in an ad consistent with the care they actually receive.
