Interpreter Services
Clear communication is a key component of creating and building a good relationship between physician and patient. To make sure that all of our members have complete access to their physicians’ knowledge and recommendations, we at Paramount provide Interpreter Services. After all, clearly communicating to your patients isn’t just good practice: it’s the law. As a Paramount provider, you are required by Federal law to provide language assistance when it is requested, or when you believe it will ensure a satisfactory health care encounter.
We have prepared a resource that can help you when you need language assistance for your patients. Please check out our Interpreter Services bulletin for qualified resources. Whether your patient needs services for the hearing impaired or has limited English proficiency, we are committed to making sure that all our members are able to understand their physicians—and that our providers can hear their patients’ questions and concerns. You or your patient can request free interpreter services by calling Member Services at 419-887-2525 or 800-462-3589 before their appointment. TTY users can call 711.
