When phone works
Phone interpreters for telehealth appointments held by audio only
On the phone, the visit itself is the call, not a call about a visit. Providers hold a telehealth visit by audio only in the situations below.
Patients without video
Some patients have no camera, no device that joins a video call or no connection that holds one. The provider holds the visit by phone, and the interpreter dials in too.
Visits that need no picture
Providers hold some visits by phone because nothing needs to be seen, such as a medicine review or a talk about results. The provider sets the visit type, and you book the interpreter for the same time.
Routine check-ins
A short check-in after a new medicine or a change of plan can be held by phone. Book the time the check-in needs, with room for interpretation.
Audio-only visits
What to know about audio-only telehealth visits with an interpreter
When a visit is audio only
An audio-only telehealth visit is a full medical visit held by phone, with the provider asking about symptoms and giving the plan. Providers choose it when the patient has no device or connection for video, or when the visit needs no picture. The interpreter dials in from anywhere in the US, so a language that few people speak near the clinic can still be booked. The patient needs no app, link or screen.
Who takes part
The provider is on the line from the clinic or another office, asks about symptoms and explains the plan. The patient talks from home or wherever they are. A family member can be added to the call when the patient wants someone to listen or to help with the medicine list. The interpreter dials in and adds the patient once the provider is on the line.

The interpreter's role
The provider cannot see the patient, so the interpreter's words carry the whole visit. Each speaker pauses, and the interpreter interprets that part in full, in the first person, before the next one starts. The interpreter is neutral and keeps the visit confidential. They do not describe how the patient seems or add to what the patient said.

List sentVisitQuestions
Medicine list ahead
Send the patient the medicine list and any instructions before the visit, because nothing can be shown on a phone call. Add the same list to the booking notes, and the interpreter has the names and doses in front of them while the provider goes through them.
On-site, video or phone
Choosing between phone, video and on-site for a telehealth appointment
Phone suits a visit that needs no picture. If the provider needs to see the patient, or the patient is in the clinic, another setting fits better.
On-site
Not offered for this sessionA patient who comes to the clinic needs an on-site interpreter, which is a separate booking.
Video (VRI)
Book video when the provider needs to see something and the patient has a device that can join.
Video-Remote Interpretation for Telehealth AppointmentsPhone (OPI)

If you also need translations
If you also need documents translated before the visit
Nothing can be shown on a phone visit, so records in another language are better translated before the provider needs them.
Hospitals and clinics
Discharge papers and test results from a hospital abroad, translated into English for the provider to read before the call.
USCIS interviews
Birth certificates, when a patient's immigration filing asks for English.
Courts and depositions
Sworn statements about an injury, translated into English for the lawyer handling the claim.

Questions about phone interpreters for telehealth visits
The ones we hear most often, answered by our dispatch and project-management teams.
Can't find it here?
01Is an audio-only visit recorded?
Only if you ask. The interpreter is under an NDA for every visit, and connections are encrypted.
02What if the provider needs to see the patient?
We can change the booking to a video session, subject to the interpreter's availability.
03Can the patient call in from a landline?
Yes. The patient can dial in from any phone, whether a landline or a mobile.
04How is an audio-only visit priced?
The price is for the time you book, and the total shows before you pay. Add a little room at the start for everyone to dial in, because the interpreter is reserved for the whole booking and unused time is not refunded.
05How far ahead should we book?
At least 48 to 72 hours ahead, and earlier if you can.
06Which languages can I book for an audio-only visit?
70 languages. Spanish, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Arabic, Korean and Haitian Creole are the easiest to schedule. A language that is harder to find needs more notice.
07Are your Turkish interpreters certified?
Yes. Court-certified and medically credentialed Turkish interpreters are assigned to legal and clinical matters — Federal Court Interpreter Certification, state court rosters, CCHI / NBCMI for medical. For community, educational and corporate settings we assign professionally trained interpreters matched to the subject.
