As the Supervisor in Member services with Health Choice AZ. I would like to say that A Foreign Language Service had been one of our good vendors for many years. The times that we had requested an interpreter for a member’s appointment, they were on time and communicated professionally with our members and providers. I recommend A Foreign Language Services for your language interpreting needs.
