Welcome CareSource Providers

Eligible Limited English Proficient (LEP), deaf, and hard-of-hearing members may request interpreting services during eligible visits to your facility. Through its partnership with Propio, CareSource makes it so easy for participating providers to access interpreting services through direct access to Propio’s online interpreting management system. As a CareSource provider, this page will guide you through the registration process to use interpreting services. It also includes the terms and conditions, how to access the services, and helpful tools for understanding the various types of interpreting and when to use them.

Propio will provide the following solutions: on-site, over-the-phone interpreting (OPI) and video remote interpreting (VRI) throughout Ohio, Georgia, Indiana; and OPI and VRI for Arkansas.

Qualified spoken language and American Sign Language (ASL) medical interpreters are available for in-person, live interpreting at your facility.

Qualified language interpreters are available over-the-phone in the following cases:

When an onsite interpreter is not available
As a backup or first option for short/routine medical appointments
As a first option for rare languages not available for OSI per Propio’s language list
As a first option when a member prefers OPI
For emergency situations where there is no time to wait for an OSI interpreter to arrive

For Ohio providers only please reference, Ohio Usage Policy, for full details.
For Arkansas providers only please reference, Arkansas Usage Policy, for full details.
For Indiana providers only please reference, Indiana Usage Policy, for full details.
For Georgia providers only, Usage Policy, coming soon.

With VRI, you and your patient can visually connect and communicate with the interpreter during the appointment. VRI simply requires using a computer, tablet, or mobile device connected to the internet.

VRI may be used in the following cases:

As a first choice for all languages when the visit will not last longer than 20 minutes
For ASL or spoken language emergencies
As a first choice for other ASL appointments and/or spoken language appointments only with CareSource’s prior permission
VRI may be offered as a backup solution when an ASL interpreter is not available onsite

For Ohio providers only please reference, Ohio Usage Policy, for full details.
For Arkansas providers only please reference, Arkansas Usage Policy, for full details.
For Indiana providers only please reference, Indiana Usage Policy, for full details.
