Phone and video interpreter services bill $2-4 per minute with connection fees, minimum session lengths, and after-hours surcharges. A five-provider primary care practice can spend $1,000-1,500 per month on interpretation alone, and the invoice varies with patient volume, language mix, and time of day.
For finance teams
Interpreter costs at a fraction of the rate.
Traditional phone interpretation runs $2-4 per minute. Harmoni starts at $0.25 per minute with no connection fees, and prepaid tiers bring the rate down further.

Clean budget line items
One line item per prepaid tier or pay-as-you-go account. No connection fees, no after-hours surcharges, no minimum session lengths.
Usage reporting is available at the admin level. Finance teams can see consumption by provider, department, or location without requesting custom reports from the vendor.
Scaling with volume
Prepaid tiers apply across the organization. As interpretation volume grows, moving to a higher tier reduces the per-minute cost. There's no volume renegotiation or pricing cliff.
