Accessibility

The State Health Plan is evaluating its website and online materials pursuant to applicable federal law and federally accepted standards and practices. 
   
The State Health Plan has implemented a few web standards to increase the accessibility of the website.  These standards include (but are not limited to):

  • Using "alt tags" with all images to aid citizens who listen to the site via screen readers instead of reading content.
  • Providing text-based links in addition to any graphics-based links.

If you have any feedback or suggestions for improving the site's accessibility, please contact us.  Thank you.
