My wife is an interpreter and had just informed me that her appointment was to interpret for a Deaf patient in gum graft surgery. No pun intended, she never told me who, where and whatever can violate privacy issues.
Anyway, a surgeon told my wife any patient with Medi-Cal or anyone on SSI or SSDI can reimburse interpreting costs back. No cost to providers in providing interpreting for the Deaf.
I wonder what about Delta Dental? Blue Cross? other private health insurance? I am sure they are legally obligated to pay, not providers?
