§ 51202.5. Sign Language Interpreters.
(2) In an emergency or acute care situation or in the event the Medi-Cal enrolled provider determines that the interpreter selected by the beneficiary does not communicate effectively, accurately or impartially, and may adversely affect the health and well-being of the beneficiary due to inaccurate interpretation of a diagnosis or a misunderstanding of medical advice or instruction, the Medi-Cal enrolled provider is required to select a different interpreter. Whenever a Medi-Cal enrolled provider acts pursuant to this paragraph, he or she shall provide a written statement of reasons for the action. The Medi-Cal enrolled provider shall maintain this statement in the medical record of the beneficiary and make it available to the State upon request pursuant to Section 51476(g).
