Healthcare Language Services FAQ
Do healthcare organizations need interpreters?
Federal civil-rights requirements can create language-access obligations for covered healthcare organizations, particularly recipients of federal financial assistance. The exact obligation depends on the organization and circumstances.
What is the difference between OPI and VRI?
Over-the-Phone (OPI) uses audio by phone or another voice connection. Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) adds a live video connection, which can be useful when visual communication is important.
Can Metro provide both scheduled and remote coverage?
Yes. Healthcare organizations can combine in-person, OPI, VRI, ASL, and translation based on location, urgency, language, and clinical need.
