RE: Interpreting Fee Schedule has been updated effective January 25, 1998.

It is preferable to utilize an interpreter with certification by the National Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID: CT & CI, CSC, CDI-P, IC & TC) or the National Association of the Deaf - Interpreter Assessment program (NAD/IAP Level V, Level IV, or Level III). If not available, a NAD/IAP Level II and Level I or non-certified interpreter should be utilized. Nature of job assignment should be considered when selecting an interpreter. It is strongly advised that a CSC, CI & CT, NAD Level V, or NAD Level IV interpreter be used in legal and mental health settings. It is further recommended that a RSC or CDI-P interpreter be sued in these settings when the deaf consumer does not demonstrate fluency in American Sign Language.

A minimum two hours per call may be charged.

All mileage if beyond a ten-mile radius of home or office is allowable at prevailing agency rates.

If the consumer is a no show, the interpreter should be paid for two hours of service.

The hourly rate will include travel time when the assignment exceeds the two hours. The interpreter should be expected to give an estimate of the travel time (paid at the same hourly rate) and any necessary expenses, such as lodging, etc., that is/are anticipated prior to confirmation of the assignment.

Contact the DVR Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Services Branch with questions regarding interpreter services in post-secondary educational settings.

For any interpreter assignment arranged by the Deaf Community Center (DCC) Louisville, KY, or Deaf Services Center (DSC) in Covington, KY, the terms of agreement in the contract between the agency and service provider will take precedence over the stip7ulations in this Service Fee Memorandum. Any questions relating to the agreement may be directed to the DVR Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Services Branch.
