The Health Care Authority (HCA) recently sent the following alert to dental Medicaid providers.
New Online Sign Language Interpreter Request Form
The Health Care Authority (HCA) has collaborated with Office of Deaf and Hard of Hearing (ODHH) to streamline sign language interpreter requests for Apple Health clients.
As part of this effort, ODHH is implementing a new online Sign Language Interpreter Request form for Apple Health providers. When using the new form, providers will no longer need to make requests in ProviderOne. The new online request form will be available soon.
Apple Health providers who utilize the current sign language process in ProviderOne Prior Authorization will be contacted directly by the HCA Interpreter Services team with information on how and when to transition to the new online request system.
