摘要	Changing demographic and immigration patterns in the United States have produced a growing number of people who cannot easily access basic health services because they cannot adequately speak or understand English. Limited English proficiency (LEP) thus contributes to racial and ethnic disparities in health. This report summarizes analyses that calculate the size of the LEP population within Connecticut’s Medicaid program and estimates the cost of providing face-to-face interpreters in compliance with federal laws and guidelines. The study found that LEP Medicaid recipients use 4.6 percent of Medicaid services. Assuming that the state arranges for matching federal funds, the total expense to the Connecticut Medicaid program would be $2.35 million for Medicaid managed care enrollees and $1.5 million for Medicaid fee-for-service enrollees.
