Health CARE Act of 2023
This bill directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to create and implement a standardized graphic symbol indicating when language interpretation services and translated materials are available for healthcare. It affects healthcare providers, insurers, public health departments, and other entities serving people with limited English proficiency. The symbol must be simple, widely understood, and work across printed and digital formats, with research and community testing to guide its design. The Secretary must finalize the symbol within 18 months and develop an education plan to promote its use, while allowing it to replace current notice requirements if testing shows it improves access.
