In 2003, the California legislature passed Senate Bill 853 mandating that all California health plans provide language assistance services to their enrollees with limited English proficiency. The legislation stipulates that all vital documents must be translated into threshold languages and interpretation services made available to enrollees. By July 1, 2008, every health care service plan must provide its written language assistance program policies and procedures.

DrTango has created a white paper entitled:  Language Assistance Programs: A guide to understanding California Senate Bill 853 to help health care service plans better understand SB 853.
