Implication

National survey shows limited English proficiency affects primary care language service availability, indicating healthcare system ownership impacts service provision.

Key Points

Fifty-four percent of primary care practices always provide language services for patients with limited English proficiency.
Practices owned by healthcare systems are significantly more likely to offer these services compared to independent ones.
Multivariable logistic regression was used to link physician practice capabilities with language services availability in a national survey.
Policy reforms may enhance the routine provision of language services in primary care settings, supporting better patient communication.
