Accessibility statement

ClearPrice Health™ is committed to making hospital price information accessible to every reader, including people using screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, and assistive zoom. We target WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance for the consumer atlas.

Conformance status

The consumer atlas is built and tested against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. Every page template is verified by automated axe-core scans on every pull request, and the procedure-page template is verified end-to-end by Lighthouse with an Accessibility score threshold of 95.

Last manual audit: 2026-05-08 — covered the procedure, hospital, and home page templates plus all legal pages. Automated audits run continuously via the axe-core CI gate against tests/a11y/atlas.spec.ts.

Last data refresh: June 1, 2026.

Methods

• Semantic HTML throughout (<main>, <nav>, <header>, <footer>).
• Data tables use <table> with scope="col" headers and a <caption> per table.
• All non-decorative images have alternative text. Decorative SVG icons are aria-hidden.
• Color contrast meets 4.5:1 for body text and 3:1 for large text.
• A skip-to-content link is the first focusable element on every page.
• Every interactive element receives a visible :focus-visible ring.
• The site honours prefers-reduced-motion: animations and CSS transitions are neutralised when the OS-level setting is on.

Known issues

We track these against the AA target. None block daily use; each has a tracked remediation path.

• Some inline numeric badges (e.g. percentile pips) rely on color alongside a tooltip rather than a redundant text label. Screen reader users hear the underlying numeric value; sighted-but-no- color-perception users may need to mouse over for context. Remediation: redundant text labels planned for the next visual refresh.
• The procedure-page hospital map (Phase-5 enrichment, not yet shipped) is a known accessibility gap. When it ships, it will include a tabular fallback rendering the same data as the rate-breakdown table.

If you encounter any other barrier on the consumer atlas, please email clear-price-corrections@geninspired.com with the URL and a short description. We aim to acknowledge accessibility reports within 5 business days.

Hospital workspace

The hospital workspace at /workspace is operator software and is not currently available to public visitors. Its accessibility is treated as a launch criterion when the workspace re-enters production with authentication. Until then, the consumer atlas is the only audience-facing surface and is the surface this statement applies to.
