We are excited to announce we are now using our new custom database to schedule our appointments. This new database will allow Hired Hands to become more efficient in scheduling our interpreters for appointments. There will not be a significant impact to our customers. The one thing you will notice is a difference in the look of our Interpreter Billing Forms (IBF) that you will be signing. The same information will be on the new IBF. If you have any questions regarding the IBF when you see one ask the interpreter to explain it to you or feel free to call our office at 817-236-3323.
Stay tuned to this space for upcoming events, notices, reminders and other information from our Hired Hands, Inc., Staff!
