Request Patient Services

We make it easy for you to request services for your patients. See below for benefit information and instructions to obtain services that enable improved access to care.

Interpreter Services

CareSource offers onsite sign and language interpreters as well as over-the phone (OPI) and video remote interpreting (VRI) when appropriate, for medical appointments outside of the surgical, hospital or emergency room setting*. These services are available to CareSource members who are hearing impaired, do not speak English or have limited English-speaking proficiency. These services are available at no cost to the member or provider. As a provider, you are required to identify the need for interpreter services for your CareSource patients and offer assistance to them appropriately. To request an interpreter for your patient, please use the Propio Self-Service Portal. First-time users may begin the process of creating an account through Propio. For questions, please contact our Provider Services department at 1-844-607-2831. We ask that you let us know of members in need of interpreter services, as well as any members that may receive interpreter services through another resource.
*CareSource requires hospitals, emergency rooms and skill nursing facilities, at their own expense, to offer sign and other language interpreters for members who are hearing impaired, do not speak English or have limited English-speaking proficiency. This includes providers that perform in-office surgeries. These services should be available at no cost to the member.
