EMTALA Compliance refers to adherence to the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act, a crucial federal law enacted in 1986 to ensure public access to emergency medical services regardless of ability to pay. This act requires hospitals participating in Medicare to provide a medical screening examination to any individual who comes to the emergency department seeking treatment. If a medical condition is identified, the hospital must either provide treatment to stabilize the patient or transfer them to another facility capable of providing necessary care. EMTALA aims to prevent "patient dumping," where hospitals might refuse to treat individuals unable to pay for services. Compliance with EMTALA is essential for healthcare providers to maintain Medicare participation and avoid significant penalties. At Ott Law Firm, we understand the complexities of EMTALA regulations and can guide healthcare facilities through compliance challenges. If you're facing EMTALA-related issues or seeking to enhance your compliance measures, call us at 314-794-6900 for a consultation. Our commitment to personalized service and extensive experience in health law can help safeguard your organization's interests.
