In posting about the need for medical interpretation, I would be remiss if not mentioning an upcoming action item: the Department of Insurance is accepting comments for a 3rd round of changes on its pending language access regulations.
Written comments are now solicited only on the third round of changes, released July 7th. The 15-day public comment period ends on Monday, July 23rd, at 4:00pm, when written, faxed, or E-mailed comments are due. Comments and questions can be submitted to:
