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 sign and language interpreters for members who:

  • are hearing impaired,
  • do not speak English, or
  • have limited English-speaking ability.

We can also provide some printed materials in other languages or formats. These services are available at no cost to the member.

As a provider, you are required to identify when your patients need interpretation services and to offer assistance to them as appropriate.

CareSource requires hospitals, at their own expense, to offer sign and language interpreters for members who are hearing impaired, visually impaired or have limited English-speaking ability.
