Language access for every patient you serve

Your patient population is growing. Your language access has to keep up.

29.6 million people in the US have limited English proficiency (GSA, Dec 2025) and community health centers are where millions of them get care. As that population grows, health centers need interpreting that scales with it without adding cost or complexity.

01

Serve a growing patient population.

More LEP patients should mean more care delivered.

02

Every modality, one platform.

In-person, OPI and VRI often mean separate vendors, contracts and workflows.

03

The safety net at the point of care.

In rural areas, in-person interpreters are scarce and phone lines mean long waits.

04

Every language and dialect your community speaks.

From regional Spanish dialects to Haitian Creole and Burmese, health center patients speak far beyond the top ten languages.

05

Reasonable cost, predictable budget.

Per-minute billing makes every encounter a cost to watch. A flat subscription keeps the focus on the patient.

06

Continue serving your mission.

Access for all means every patient gets the same quality of care, whatever language they speak.

Access for all, visible in the data.

AI-first medical interpreting, built for how health centers actually run.

Available at the moment of care.

Runs on any connected device, including iPads, kiosks, desktops and mobile. From front desk intake through discharge, including care management and behavioral health.

One flat monthly subscription.

No per-minute fees. Interpreting becomes a predictable line item instead of a cost that grows with patient volume, so staff use it every time a patient needs it.

295+ language access options.

Including Haitian Creole, Burmese, Tagalog and 5 dialects of Spanish. Reach out to receive the full list.

Compliance-ready from day one.

HIPAA and SOC 2 Type II certified, BAA provided, Section 1557 ready.

Access for all, visible in the data

What changes when interpreting stops being rationed.

Rising interpreting costs put real pressure on staff and health centers. We believe language access belongs at the heart of patient care: available at every touchpoint, for every patient, with billing that stays simple and predictable.

01

Savings reinvested into care.

Budget freed from per-minute billing goes back to patients and staff.

02

Bilingual staff back in their roles.

Interpreting no longer depends on who happens to be on shift.

03

A shared adoption playbook.

Staff surveys before training, internal champions and recorded modules. What worked at CAN Community Health can scale across the network.

04

Equity that shows up in the data.

Faster encounters, consistent quality across sites and utterance-level audit logs that support health center governance.

Frequent questions from CHC partners

When do CHCs use AI interpreting?

AI interpreting is increasingly being tested and used in health centers that need instant access to language. At No Barrier, we see AI interpreting mainly solving language barriers at front desk intake, patient history, directions and scheduling, as well as in the ER where providers need instant access to language.

Do CHCs keep their human interpreters?

Yes. We have moved past the human versus AI conversation. Our partners use a hybrid model in their language access program. Their in-house human interpreters remain the standard: they know the providers and patients, know how to navigate the departments and bring a human touch no technology can offer. AI interpreting scales human interpreting, with an extensive pool of languages available instantly, 24/7.

Where can we apply AI interpreting with No Barrier?

At every touchpoint of the patient journey: front desk intake, over-the-phone scheduling, patient access, care management, behavioral health, provider encounters, telehealth and follow-up calls. Real-time transcripts, visual aids for medical terminology and discharge summaries in the patient's own language extend support beyond the conversation itself. No Barrier is a multimodal platform, with all interpreting in one place.

Is the integration long?

Not at all, and there is no IT project. No Barrier runs on any connected device, including iPads, tablets, kiosks, desktops and mobile, with no new hardware required. Most pilots go live in two weeks, followed by workflow tuning and a full rollout across sites.

How do we make sure of usage and adoption?

The bigger barrier is rarely the technology: it is change management. No Barrier encourages training before go-live and throughout. We also add recorded training materials, champion identification within the clinical team and custom support materials tailored to the organization. Medical organizations that invest in staff training alongside the rollout consistently show stronger adoption and usage. Listen to the best practices shared by Katy Wendel at CAN Community Health.

Have CHCs seen higher patient satisfaction and health equity?

Yes. Community Clinic NWA reported higher satisfaction among non-English-speaking patients across its 27 locations after deploying No Barrier. When interpreting is instant and cost is no longer a hesitation, every patient gets the same access to care. Staff feel the difference too: see how Pacific Eye Associates deployed No Barrier.

How much does it cost?

No Barrier operates on a flat monthly subscription which removes the per-minute billing dynamic that creates background pressure on how long providers spend with LEP patients. Community Clinic NWA reduced its interpreting cost by 63% and CAN Community Health saves $17,000 a year. Reach out for a pricing based on your organization's profile.
