How much do medical interpreters charge ?

Is medical interpreting HIPAA compliant ?

Yes. Every medical interpretation is handled under strict privacy regulations that protect patient and practitioner data, in line with HHS Office for Civil Rights guidance on language access for healthcare providers.

Tomedes' medical interpreters bring the knowledge and experience your care team needs, for any type of medical intervention. Medical interpreting (also called healthcare interpreting services) is offered alongside Tomedes' legal interpreting services and medical translation services, Tomedes' most closely related language services for healthcare and regulated industries.

HIPAA-Compliant

Every medical interpretation is handled under strict privacy regulations that protect patient and practitioner data, so you're assured complete safety and protection during and after your medical interventions, in line with HHS Office for Civil Rights guidance on language access for healthcare providers.

Certified Medical Interpreters

Medical terminology shouldn't get lost in translation. Tomedes' interpreters bring deep expertise in the field, so explanations stay accurate and accessible to you, trained to NCIHC national standards for healthcare interpreting.

24/7 Support

Because medical emergencies cannot wait, Tomedes offers 24-hour support, 7 days a week. Availability extends to both one-time appointments and standing, recurring engagements, including multi-language sessions for the same meeting delivered monthly for enterprise healthcare clients.

Flexible, Global Scheduling

Wherever you need a medical interpreter, Tomedes' network is there. Interpreters are located around the globe and flexible to fit your schedule, so you can count on medical interpretation services no matter where you are.

Does Medicare or Medicaid pay for medical interpreter services?

No, Medicaid and Medicare don't directly pay for interpreter services as a billable benefit. Patients generally aren't charged for one anyway, because federally funded healthcare providers are legally required under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act to provide interpreters at no cost to patients with limited English proficiency. Medicaid reimbursement to providers for this varies by state, and Medicare Advantage plans face separate CMS language access requirements.

Medical language can feel uncertain for patients. Tomedes' certified interpreters relay complex explanations clearly, supporting hospitals, clinics, life sciences organizations, and clinical research teams, whether delivered on-site or via video.
