An Act requiring reimbursement for the costs of providing competent interpreter services

Summary

The bill amends state law so that health insurers, health plans, and managed‑care contractors must pay back the expenses of providing competent interpreter services, both sign and spoken, at facilities licensed under specific health‑care statutes. It affects hospitals, clinics, and behavioral‑health providers that serve patients needing language assistance, as well as the insurers that contract with them. The goal is to ensure those providers are not financially penalized for offering essential interpreter services.
