Boston— The IMIA along with other associations developed an important survey, the fifth Annual National Salary Survey for the medical interpreting profession. The data gathered will be used to benchmark current compensation trends in the US and create an industry standard tool to document the working conditions of medical interpreters and healthcare interpreters worldwide.
This national salary survey data is very important to be able to quantify national costs for requests to the federal government for the reimbursement of medical or healthcare interpreter costs.

The basis and amounts of compensation for on-call medical interpreters -- who work, in effect, as independent contractors -- are profoundly different, and that more-prevalent situation merits another study.
Hope this helps... See more
