California Announces CCHI Certified Healthcare Interpreters Gain Recognition in Workers’ Compensation System

CCHI is pleased to be recognized by the State of California’s Division of Workers’ Compensation (DWC) as an approved credentialing and certification organization. California’s new DWC regulations require that interpreters for medical treatment appointments or medical legal exams be certified to be able to work in the system.   We thank all our supporters in California for making this happen. One of DWC’s definitions of certified is “passing the CCHI exam evidenced by a CCHI certification/credential indicating that the interpreter passed the exam and specifying the language, if indicated." CCHI is committed to work with California interpreters to accelerate the credentialing and certification process. We are expediting our systems to ensure that California interpreters can get through the credentialing and certification process quickly and without delay.
