Medical Translation for Records, Prescriptions & Insurance Claims Connected to Russia
A foreigner treated at a clinic in Russia needs the discharge summary translated for their home insurer. A Russian patient who received treatment abroad needs the foreign medical records translated for a doctor or insurer back home. We translate medical documents in both directions and handle them as the confidential material they are.

Medical translation shows up in two directions around Russia. A tourist, expat, or business traveler treated at a Russian hospital or clinic needs the discharge summary, diagnosis, and itemized bill translated so their insurer at home can process a reimbursement claim. A Russian citizen who was treated abroad, or who needs to bring a foreign specialist’s opinion to a Russian doctor, needs the reverse: the foreign records translated into Russian. In either direction, the translation needs to preserve medical terminology, dosages, and diagnostic codes exactly, because the person reading it, a claims adjuster or a treating physician, is going to make a decision based on it.

Confidentiality for Medical Documents
Medical records are among the most sensitive documents we handle, and we treat them that way. Files are transferred and stored securely, and only the translator and reviewer assigned to your order can see them; details of how we handle and eventually delete your documents are on our document security page. If your case requires it, we can sign a mutual NDA before you send us anything.
When a Medical Translation Needs to Be Notarized
Most medical translations are read by an insurer’s claims department or a treating doctor, and a professional translation is enough for that. If a Russian government body or a specific insurer’s process requires an officially notarized translation of a medical document, tell us in advance — that is a different service, and we will confirm which format your case needs before we start.
Our Accuracy Guarantee
Every medical translation is checked by a second reviewer against the source document's terminology, dosages, and figures before delivery. If a specific term turns out to be mistranslated, we correct it free of charge.
This guarantee covers translation accuracy. We are not medical professionals and do not provide medical advice or interpret a diagnosis; we translate what the original document says.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you translate hospital discharge summaries for an insurance claim?
Yes, including discharge summaries, diagnoses, and itemized bills for submission to an insurance company.
Is my medical information kept confidential?
Yes. Only the translator and reviewer working on your order can see your files, and on request we sign an NDA before you send us anything — details are on our document security page.
Do insurers accept a professional translation, or do they need it notarized?
In most cases a professional translation is enough, but this depends on the specific insurer. Check with your insurance company, and tell us if a notarized translation is required so we can prepare that instead.
Can you translate a prescription so I can get the same medication at home?
We translate the text of the prescription, but we do not give medical advice. Finding an equivalent medication and dosage at home is something to discuss with your own doctor or pharmacist.
How fast can you turn around a medical document for an urgent insurance claim?
We typically reply within 2 hours on Telegram during working hours, 9:00-20:00 Moscow time, Monday through Saturday, and will confirm an exact turnaround for your specific document at that point.

I need a translation of a medical statement and prescriptions from an Israeli doctor. Can you translate?
Good afternoon, Sofia! As a rule, our translators can even understand the handwriting of foreign doctors. But in this case, we cannot guarantee anything until the translator takes a look and confirms the possibility of translation. Medicine is a very sensitive area and mistakes are unacceptable. We approach such translations with full responsibility.
