Alliance Interpreter Services

The Alliance offers interpreter services, including American Sign Language, for Alliance members who are receiving covered services in non-hospital settings. Hospitals are required to provide interpreter services for patients receiving care at hospital settings. We ask that providers do not ask family or friends to interpret, and instead offer qualified interpreters.
