Insured persons suffering
from hearing impairment, deafness or muteness are entitled to receive,
at Medical Boards, translation and transcription services into sign
language.
How to obtain this service?
- Whether
you are working with a specific translator employed by the Deaf
Promotion Institute (DPI), through the absorption basket of the Ministry
of Social Affairs, you can invite him to accompany you to the Medical
Board, and the National Insurance Institute will cover the cost of
the service. To that end, at the time of committee hearing, you must
fill out a Translation Services Request, have the Board's Doctor sign on the form and submit it to the DPI for payment.
- If you wish us to arrange for a translator on your behalf, please contact us via the website.
