The State Health Care Authority’s (HCA) emergency provisions for in-person interpreting allowing over the phone interpreting has ended. Now the Health Care Authority and Universal Language Service (ULS) signed the new spoken language contract to provide over-the-phone and video remote interpreting services. Providers must register under the new contract to have access to the over-the-phone and video remote interpreting contract. To register, email accounts@ulsonline.net. Pharmacists interested in providing interpreting services under the over-the-phone and video remote contract also must register via email at interpreter@ulsonline.net.
