Supporting language interpretation for patients

This article provides guided steps for locating the Interpreter services request form in the Rula provider portal. Rula offers interpreter services to all Rula patients at no charge for calls into our Support line and during active telehealth sessions. It is best practice to use a neutral party for language interpretation rather than relying on family members, friends, or the patient. 

Live Visit Interpretation

For live visit interpretation, the Rula scheduling team will coordinate the scheduling of an interpreter. You’ll receive an email before sessions in which an interpreter will be joining. At the start of the visit, you'll see a third-party interpreter on the Zoom call. These interpreters are HIPAA-trained and focus exclusively on healthcare translation.

Follow-Up Visit Interpretation

To request interpretation for follow-up visits from the Rula provider portal:

  1. Log into the provider portal.
  2. Click the Resources tab, located on the menu on the left side of the page.
  3. The form will be located under the Documents and Forms section and is named Interpreter services request form.
