While HIPAA may not require the NPP or other important documents to be
provided in multiple languages, there are other laws to keep in mind. Title
VI of the Civil Rights Act requires entities receiving federal funds to
provide reasonable accommodations to those who are are limited English
proficient ("LEP"). This includes providing translation of important
documents and interpreters. Each Federal agency is coming up with its own
guidelines. DHHS has guidelines. You may want to check the LEP website

Hello All!
I don't belive it's required according to the regulations, however, what is
everyone doing about having a version of the NPP in Spanish or other
languages?
