Dear Ms. Becker:

        This is in response to your inquiry on behalf of your
constituent, (b)(6)
        
        XX has requested a copy of the implementing
regulations for the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) that
pertain to medical care services. Please find enclosed a copy of
the regulations for title II of the ADA, which apply to medical
services provided by public clinics, public hospitals, and other
public agencies and for title III of the ADA, which apply to
private health care providers. I have also enclosed a copy of
this Department's Title II and Title III Technical Assistance
Manuals, documents that provide further information about the
requirements of the ADA.

        (b)(6)   has specifically inquired whether anything in the
ADA regulations guarantees to people with disabilities the right
to stay at home and receive medical care there rather than enter
a long-term care facility. Neither the ADA nor the Department's
regulations specifically address this issue.

          If XX  has further questions after reviewing the
enclosed materials, she may call the Department's ADA Information
Line at 202/514-0301 (Voice) or 202/514-0383 (TDD).

        We hope that this information will be helpful to you in
responding to (b)(6) 


                                        Sincerely,



                                      James P. Turner
