Medical Report Translation

Certified translation of a medical report, a discharge summary or a clinical letter for an insurer, an attorney or a disability claim, handled under confidentiality.

The report translated in full, with the clinical findings, the abbreviations and the signature of the treating physician kept in place. Nothing is summarized, because an insurer and a court read the detail and a summary is what invites a second opinion. From $54 per document.

    Clinical Records

    Medical Report Translation for Insurers, Attorneys and Claims

    A clinical report is written in shorthand for other clinicians, so the translation expands the abbreviations and keeps the structure of the original. What comes back is a document a claims handler or a judge can follow without a clinician beside them.

    What the translation covers

    • Findings and Diagnosis: the examination findings, the impression and the diagnosis are translated with the terms a US clinician would use rather than a literal equivalent.

    • Abbreviations: each one is expanded on first use, since the same letters can mean different things in two health systems.

    • Treatment and Medication: procedures, drug names and dosages are kept exactly, and a brand name stays a brand name instead of being translated.

    • Signatures and Stamps: the treating physician's name, the hospital stamp and the date of the report are described where they appear on the page.

    Before you order

    Confidentiality and completeness are the two things a medical file is judged on.

    • Who Reads It: an insurer, an injury attorney and a disability examiner each look for different sections, so name the reader at the quote.

    • Confidentiality: records go only to the translator assigned to them and are not circulated, and the finished file is sent to the address you give.

    • Handwriting: a handwritten clinical note is translated as written, and a word that cannot be read is marked rather than inferred from the surrounding text.

    Send the imaging and laboratory reports with a discharge summary if the claim turns on them.

    Prices are per document and start at $54 — see what a translation costs.

    Knowledge Base

    Frequently asked questions

    DHCTranslations translates medical reports and clinical letters from a New York base, assigns a translator with clinical vocabulary, and emails a certified PDF with a signed statement and a glossary of terms.

    Reports start at $54 at DHCTranslations and are charged at $0.12 per word into English beyond the first 400 words. A hospital file of thirty pages is therefore priced on its length, and the figure is given before work begins.

    Yes. Summarizing a clinical report is the one thing that gets a translation sent back, because the detail an insurer queries is often a single line that a summary would have dropped.

    They are expanded on first use and listed in a glossary at the end of the file. The same abbreviation can stand for different things in two health systems, so expanding it removes the guesswork.

    They are seen by the translator assigned to the file and by the second reader who checks it before signing. Nothing is circulated, and the finished translation goes only to the address you give us.

    Insurers ask for a complete translation and a signed statement of accuracy, which is what accompanies every file here, and DHCTranslations documents have been used in claims and court filings. The claim decision stays with them.

    Yes, and they are translated as written. Where a word genuinely cannot be read, it is marked as illegible with its position on the page, rather than replaced with a likely term.

    Yes, and they are usually filed with the main report. Reference ranges and units are reproduced as printed, since a range in one country is not always the range a US laboratory quotes.

    A short clinical letter approved before 4pm ET can be sent the same day. A discharge summary or hospital file is given a date in the quote once the page count is known.

    It can, and the reader there is an examiner rather than a clinician. Saying so at the quote means the statement and the glossary are prepared for someone reading outside the specialty.
