How it works · from booking to billing

Every step from the booking to the bill.

From the moment a coordinator books a session to the moment finance approves the invoice — here is every step, and what each side sees. Matching is automated; a real person is always reachable.

The flow

Six steps, no theatre.

  1. 01

    A coordinator describes the session.

    Modality, language pair, setting, sensitivity tier, and whether the session must be on the record — auto-filled from a saved profile, or pulled from your EHR or case-management system via API. No patient names or clinical content needed to book.

  2. 02

    Lingfaro matches automatically — to a person, not a pool.

    Matching scores credentialed interpreters by language fit, specialty, prior performance, location, and current load. The closest qualified interpreter is offered first, and the search widens until one accepts. A real person keeps eyes on every high-sensitivity match as it goes out.

  3. 03

    The interpreter accepts — or the next one does.

    Accept times are tracked transparently. If the first candidate doesn't respond within the window, the next one does — and the interpreter sees the full offer, including rate, mileage, and paid prep time, before deciding.

  4. 04

    The session happens — and is documented.

    On-site, by phone, or by video. Start and end timestamps are captured automatically, and a verbatim transcript is available on request. If something goes sideways, a real person is on call for live escalation.

  5. 05

    Both sides attest — separately.

    The institution confirms time-on-task; the interpreter confirms their own ledger. Mismatches surface immediately, not in next month's reconciliation. Every confirmed session produces a signed, tamper-evident record.

  6. 06

    Invoice, payout, and the record.

    The institution receives a net-30 invoice with cost-center splits. The interpreter is paid on the regular payout cycle by direct deposit. The full session record — credentials, timestamps, dual attestation — is one export away, as plain JSON or PDF.

How it works · on the real screens

Book, match, attest, and bill.

Four steps, shown on fragments of the real client portal — not an abstract diagram. This is what your team actually does on the day.

01 · Book

One form. A price before you commit.

Language, time, modality, and tier — placed in seconds. The estimate is live, and anything that shouldn't be in a request (a patient identifier) is flagged before it's posted.

02 · Match

Finding your interpreter — automatically.

Matching routes to the closest qualified interpreter and widens statewide until one accepts. No request sits waiting; a real person is on call if one needs a hand. You watch the status move to Confirmed, credential and distance shown.

03 · Attest

The session, on the record.

Check-in, duration, and sign-off are captured as they happen. Both parties attest and the record seals — tamper-evident, retained to your policy.

Step 02 · matching

Routed to the closest qualified interpreter — automatically.

No request sits in a queue waiting for someone to pick it up. The search starts with the best-fit interpreter and widens by tier until one accepts, with a real person watching the highest-sensitivity matches.

Interpreter dispatch: widening searchA request at the center, marked by the Lingfaro lens, reaches interpreters in a widening search — the closest match first, then a wider pool, then statewide and phone — until one interpreter accepts.
Request — language, modality, time Accepted — the interpreter who says yes Closest-match interpreters first · wider pool next · statewide and phone last. The search keeps widening until an interpreter accepts.

Matching scores credentialed interpreters on language fit, specialty, prior performance, location, and current load. The interpreter who accepts sees the full offer — rate, mileage, and paid prep time — before they say yes. The time-to-fill we report is the real one, not a friendly average.

Automated matching is the default. Human help is always available: if a request needs a hand, a real person is on call, in shift, with a name.

Step 05 · the record

Every session becomes a record an auditor can read.

At attestation the interpreter and the institution independently confirm the same facts. Only then is the record sealed — tamper-evident, and exportable as plain JSON or PDF.

Attestation and session-record chainA chain of four linked records: check-in, session, attest, and sealed record. Each record stores the hash of the previous one, making the chain tamper-evident. At the attest stage the interpreter and the client both independently confirm the same facts; only then is the record sealed and exportable as JSON or PDF.InterpreterClientCheck-inSessionAttestSealed recordgenesis#a17f · prev#c4e2 · prev#f039 · prev
Each event becomes a signed record that stores the hash of the one before it, so the chain is tamper-evident. At Attest, the interpreter and client independently confirm the same facts; only then is the record sealed and exportable as JSON or PDF.
