Section 210-RICR-40-10-1.10 - Interpretation Services Policy
EOHHS will notify the health plan when it knows of members who do not speak English as a primary language who have either selected or been assigned to the plan. If more than fifty (50) members speak a single language, the RHP health plan must make available general written materials, such as its member handbook, in that language. If more than five percent (5%) or fifty (50) members, whichever is less, speak a single language, the MMP must make available general written materials, such as its member handbook, in that language. Interpreter services, including sign language interpreters, are covered for any RHP or MMP member who speaks a non-English language as a primary language or who is deaf or hard of hearing.
