Under CoD policy, surrogate decision makers are eligible to receive interpreter services to understand which aspects?

The patient's condition and proposed treatment.

The key idea is that interpreter services are provided so the surrogate can clearly understand the patient's medical status and what is being proposed for treatment. When someone may make decisions for the patient, it’s crucial they grasp the condition, prognosis, risks, benefits, and available alternatives in a language they understand. That accurate medical understanding supports informed, sound decisions on behalf of the patient.

Administrative items like billing codes, trial eligibility, or scheduling details don’t directly influence medical decisions about the patient's care, so interpreter support isn’t primarily needed for those aspects.
