Medical Translation
Records, informed consent, and clinical content translated with HIPAA-aware handling and linguists who know the subject matter.
from $0.17/word
Handled with HIPAA-aware care.
teda-translation isn’t a HIPAA-certified entity — no such certification exists for translation vendors — but our handling practices are built around the same principles: limited access to your file, secure transfer, and deletion on a fixed schedule (90 days after project completion, unless you ask us to keep it on file).
What it is
Medical translation covers patient records, informed-consent documents, and clinical or pharmaceutical content — the kind of text where a mistranslated dosage, diagnosis, or consent term isn’t a style issue, it’s a safety issue. Every medical order is handled by a linguist matched to the subject matter and reviewed by a second linguist before delivery.
Who it's for
- Patients and families needing personal medical records translated for a new provider, insurer, or immigration filing.
- Hospital and clinic administrators needing patient materials, discharge instructions, or records translated for a non-English-speaking patient population.
- Pharma and clinical-trial coordinators needing informed-consent forms or trial documentation translated for a multilingual study population.

- Confidentiality for health data specifically, with the same access limits and deletion schedule as every service.
