Frequently asked questions
Do I need a BAA with Voyce?
No. Voyce is a sub-processor to doxy.me. We have a vetting process to ensure all our sub-processors are HIPAA compliant and have high security standards. We have sub-BAAs with our approved sub-processors. As long as you have a BAA with doxy.me you are covered with the sub-processors we use.
What costs are involved?
It is $0.99 per minute, billed monthly to the payment method on file. Billable minutes start when the interpreter accepts the request and enters the waiting room. The billable minutes end when you end the call or remove the interpreter. You will only be billed when you use the service, no minimum monthly or set up fee.
How long will the interpreter wait in my queue?
The interpreters time is important. After 5 minutes they will make the decision to leave or not depending on the situation. If you find your interpreter left after waiting, you can simply request another to join.
I tried adding the interpreter but they couldn't join the call?
Sometimes there are connection issues out side our control. Interpreters will use their best judgement, if they can't join the call because of a connection issues they will mark the call as dropped and you won't be billed. You can try requesting another interpreter.
What certifications do Voyce interpreters have?
