Interpreting (video/phone per minute; in person hourly) — ASL, medical, legal, general
A credentialed interpreter by video, phone or in person can be booked when the clinic does not supply one.
Prices are set by each independent professional and shown before you pay.
Ask the provider for a free interpreter
- Tell the clinic your language and that you need a qualified interpreter, ideally when booking.
- Ask for video, phone or in-person; sign language needs an ASL interpreter.
- Do not rely on a child or friend for medical details.
- If refused, ask for the clinic's language access coordinator or patient advocate.
- Keep a note of who you asked and when.
Safety: Medical details are private: confirm that the session is not recorded unless you agree.
Stop and call a pro if: the clinic refuses an interpreter: you may complain to the HHS Office for Civil Rights; for an emergency, call 911 and ask for an interpreter on the call.
