Program/Service Notes:
Requests for Interpreters are made either directly by Deaf, Deaf-Blind, late deafened, hard of hearing and hearing individuals and/or agencies, organizations, schools, employers, businesses, doctors, hospitals, police departments, courts and other entities seeking to make themselves accessible to the former. It is generally the payee - the party legally responsible under state and federal law for provision and payment for such service - that initiates the request. Please call in your request as early as possible, as freelance interpreters and CART providers often book their schedules weeks if not months in advance. Every attempt will be made to fill your request; however, all requests are subject to the availability of interpreters and/or CART providers. Priority will be given to those requests involving urgent mental health, medical and legal matters. Generally, MCDHH will notify the requestor at least two days prior to the assignment to inform them if an interpreter and/or CART provider has been scheduled. A one-week notification period will be used for requests for conferences, certain meetings, and other events in which rescheduling is difficult or impossible. Please note that only the requestor (the person paying for the service) will be notified regarding the availability of the interpreter/CART provider.
