EMTALA 2025: 2-Part Webinar Series
This two-part webinar will cover the regulations and interpretive guidelines regarding the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA). Every hospital that has an emergency department and accepts Medicare and Medicaid payment must follow the federal law and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Conditions of Participation (CoPs) Interpretive Guidelines on EMTALA.
Hospitals without emergency departments must comply with EMTALA if they have specialized capabilities. For example, EMTALA can impact obstetrical patients and behavioral health patients.
The series will include discussion of a case that has created an enormous expansion of hospital and practitioner liability under federal law. The case illustrates the importance of understanding the role that case law has in the outcome of EMTALA litigation.
It is anticipated that healthcare facilities will see larger EMTALA fines and more activity due tothe higher fines and the OIG final changes. These changes are not in the CMS CoPs and will be discussed.
