What Are Insurance Translation Services?
Insurance translation refers to the successful transfer of insurance policy documents, claims, and/or forms from one language into another with consideration of the cultural preferences and norms of different audiences. For example, if a Spanish speaker needs medical insurance translation for a future procedure at an English-speaking hospital, their specific regional variant of Spanish must be considered along with local health regulations to effectively communicate this information for the patient.
Similarly, an LEP (limited English proficiency) speaker who needs to pick up their prescriptions at the pharmacy or go see a doctor for a check-up might need healthcare translation services to successfully complete these tasks independently. Therefore, local insurance terms and concepts used in American English that are not present within the needed language must be accounted for and substituted with other terms that best describe the policy.
The Rules and Regulations For Insurance Translation Services
Staying in compliance with federal regulations is of the utmost importance when it comes to providing translation services across the nation. In 2016, the Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) was amended to include speakers of other languages besides English by the Department of Labor. Since 2018, companies have been required to specifically provide translation services when appropriate, just as they are required to do within the Affordable Care Act (ACA). More specifically, the new regulations state that for any county with more than a 10% literacy rate of another language besides English within their insurance policy group of users, the insurance provider must offer translation services for that language. In addition, a language notice must be placed on benefit denial notices stating that language services are available for the customers if needed. Lastly, spoken customer assistance along with written notices must be provided in that language as well through effective interpreting services. Clearly, the importance of insurance translation services for your organization cannot be understated; it is an integral part of properly serving different communities.
