Frequently Asked Questions

+ What other benefits are there to using this service?

We offer a service that enables any medical professional to have the medical history of their patient completed prior to their appointment. This enables a doctor to see their patient without delays at the medical facility where sometimes paperwork is still being filled out. It will also allow a medical professional to be able to see more patients due to the fact that there are no setbacks in their schedule with patients who have medical histories that are not completed.

+ If a medical office has bilingual staff why should they use this service?

The law in Worker’s Compensation is very clear. Patients have the right to a professional interpreter when going to see any medical professional in a Worker’s Compensation case. This works to your advantage as the time an office employee spends interpreting may best be used in performing important tasks that are vital to keep an office running efficiently. There is no need for them to fall behind while taking on an interpreting assignment that our professional interpreters can take care of at no additional cost to you.

+ What about billing other group health insurance such as HMO's and PPO's ?

Should your office require services in this area, special arrangements could be made in billing your business. This is due to the fact that the insurance policies for group health care do not stipulate in their policies payment for interpreting and language translation services. This is also the case for Medi-Cal and Medi-Care.

+ How can this be FREE?

In Workers’ Compensation, we bill the insurance carrier. Your office will never see a bill for Workers’ Compensation services. Our company will take your service request. We then contact the Workers’ Compensation insurance company to obtain authorization to provide services. Once authorization is obtained we service your office. Once services are provided JLA Medical Interpreting will bill the insurance company for services rendered.

+ Is advance notice needed to obtain a professional interpreter?

No, but this preferred to ensure the highest quality service. We do have interpreters available at all times for last minute request.
