Minnesota Interpreter Roster Applicant and Participant Notice

Participation on the Spoken Language Health Care Interpreter Roster is voluntary. No one is required to be on the roster or complete the application. However, you must be on the roster for your services as a Spoken Language Health Care Interpreter to be billed to Medicare/Medicaid.

To be listed on the roster you must complete the online application and pay the fee. If you provide the required application information and pay the application fee your information will be held in the Minnesota Department of Health database of health care interpreters. Some information asked for in the roster application is required, and some is optional. If you do not provide the required application information an error message will appear at the top of the page in red script and you will not be able to complete the roster application.

All the information you give in the application for the roster is public information. However, in the roster application you may choose to be not available to interpret, and the information you enter in the application (except last and first names, Roster ID and expiration date) will not be displayed in a search of the roster to find an interpreter.

The following personal information will be displayed if you choose to be available to interpret:

• the languages you interpret
• primary phone number
• primary email address
• times and locations you are available to interpret
• any network or agency names and phone numbers with which you are associated.

To continue your listing on the roster, you must renew online once each year. You will receive an email 60 days before your roster participation will end.

• If you do not renew when you receive the 60-day notice, you will receive a reminder email 10 days before your participation in the roster will end.
• If you do not renew within the 10 days, your name will no longer appear in the roster.
• Please avoid creating multiple profiles. If you discover you have more than one profile, please email health.hci@state.mn.us if you have questions if you have previously had a roster number.

• Email Address: It is your responsibility to keep a current email address on record with the Department of Health by updating your online interpreter profile. If your email address is not current, you will not receive a notice when your roster listing is about to expire. Nor will you receive periodic emails providing critical information about the practice of interpreting in Minnesota.
