Access to Interpreter Services

Back to previous page

Health Net offers language assistance services to its participating providers. Participating providers may request interpreter support for a Health Net member at no cost to the provider or member.

Medi-Cal

Interpreter support is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The California Department of Management Health Care (DMHC) requires that interpreter services, according to Section 1367.04 of the Health and Safety Code and Section 1300.67.04 of Title 28 of the California Code of Regulations, are coordinated with scheduled appointments for health care services in a manner that ensures the provision of interpreter services at the time of the appointment. To allow sufficient time for schedule, providers must request interpreter services five business days prior to the member's appointment. If an appointment is rescheduled, it is very important to reschedule the interpreter services for the time of the new appointment to ensure the member is provided with these services.

Interpreter support may also assist in identifying the member's language need, even if Health Net cannot identify the language. This service is provided at no charge to Health Net participating providers.
