Medical translation FAQ
What qualifications do your medical translators hold?
Our medical translators are ATA-certified with documented clinical subject-matter expertise. Many hold advanced degrees in medicine, pharmacy, nursing, or biomedical sciences. Every translator is matched to your project based on the specific clinical specialty — cardiology documents don’t go to an oncology specialist, and vice versa.
How do you handle HIPAA compliance for patient records?
We sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) before handling any protected health information (PHI). All files are transferred via encrypted channels, stored in HIPAA-compliant systems, and access is restricted to the assigned translation team. PHI is never stored beyond project completion unless specifically requested.
Do you provide a certificate of accuracy?
Yes — every medical translation is delivered with a signed certificate of accuracy on company letterhead, including the translator’s name, credentials, language pair, and a statement attesting to the completeness and accuracy of the translation. This is accepted by FDA, IRBs, courts, USCIS, and most healthcare institutions.
Can you handle back translation for clinical trial documents?
Yes. We provide back translation using an independent second translator who has not seen the source document, as required by ICH E6 GCP guidelines and most IRBs and ethics committees. We also provide reconciliation reports documenting any discrepancies and how they were resolved.
What is your turnaround time for medical documents?
Standard turnaround is 24–48 hours for documents up to approximately 10 pages. Rush delivery (12–24 hours) and same-day options are available for urgent regulatory submissions or clinical emergencies. Large-scale projects (multi-language, 50+ pages) are quoted with a dedicated timeline. Contact us for a specific estimate.
Can you sign an NDA before we submit documents?
Absolutely. We regularly sign NDAs and confidentiality agreements prior to any document submission, particularly for clinical trial sponsors, pharmaceutical companies, and medical device manufacturers. Contact us to arrange an NDA before sending any materials.
