Every hospital that has a dedicated emergency department and accepts Medicare and Medicaid payment must follow the federal law and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Conditions of Participation Interpretive Guidelines on the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA). Hospitals without such emergency departments must comply with EMTALA if they have specialized capabilities. This 2-part on-demand webinar will cover the regulations and interpretive guidelines regarding EMTALA. It will cover all twelve sections – Tag Numbers – plus an additional section for on-call physicians and the shared and community care plan process.
