Payment History Instructions

When the status says "pending" it means SOSi has not been paid by the insurance company. By contract, SOSi does not pay an encounter until SOSi has been paid.

The insurance companies have a 60 day window to pay invoices. When the invoice goes over 60 days, SOSi sends collection notices attempting to obtain payment. We will continue to send collection notices until the invoices are paid. After an invoice is paid to SOSi, SOSi has an additional 15 days to get payments out to LAPs.

Per the contract with L&I, LAPs are not paid for no shows unless it is for an Independent Medical Examination (IME). WLNI determines these.

The rates for each modality are as follows:
  1. Over the Phone – OPI $0.70 per minute
  2. In Person – IPI $1.08 per minute
  3. Virtual – VRI $0.87 per minute

Once you have registered and created your account on Wordbridge, please upload your interpretation credentials and SOSi will verify if they are accepted by The Washington State Department of Labor & Industries.

The Washington State Department of Labor & Industries requires all LAPs residing in Washington state to obtain a UBI (Unified Business Identifier) with the Washington State Department of Revenue. LAPs who live outside the state of Washington are not required to obtain a UBI until their earnings reach $12,000 annually. It is the responsibility of the LAP to track their earnings. Please keep in mind that SOSi will not cover any expenses to obtain a UBI. SOSi highly encourages candidates to obtain a UBI once their interpretation credentials have been accepted.

waic@sosi.com will advise the IC that: "SOSi does not have the ability to negotiate the rates offered on the contract, as they are determined by the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries and are not set by SOSi."

L&I will not require NPIs or a second form of ID for the out-of-country LAPs as long as background investigations are completed.
