Q:
FUNDING FOR INTERPRETING SERVICES |
| NEW INFORMATION A: MEDICAID - As of July 1, 2009, DHS (Department of Human Services), will pay for interpreting services under Medicaid. This is how is works. A doctor's office is an approved Medicaid Provider. That means they can accept Medicaid and get paid by Medicaid for providing services. The doctor's office must still hire and pay the interpreter for services. However, now they can also submit a bill to Medicaid to get reimbursed for the interpreting services. This memo has more information how this works, how much they can get reimbursed for, and who to call with questions. MEMO in PDF Format or HTML.
