Language Access, Interpreter Services, and Alternative Formats

Everyone has a right to know about Advanced Health’s programs and services. All members and potential members have a right to use our programs and services. We give free help when you need it.

You can have an Oregon Health Authority (OHA) approved and certified voice or sign language interpreter at your appointments if you need one. When you call for an appointment, tell your provider’s office that you need an interpreter and for which language.  We encourage the use of certified interpreters, and not family members.

Some examples of the free help we can give are:

  • Sign language interpreters
  • Spoken language interpreters for other languages
  • Written materials in other languages
  • Braille
  • Large print
  • Audio and other formats

Language Line
