DESCRIPTION

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. For example, EMTALA can impact obstetrical
patients and behavioral health patients. CMS made changes to include the
Born-Alive Infant Protection Act with an updated survey memo on the issue.

This 2-part webinar will cover the regulations and interpretive guidelines
regarding EMTALA. It will cover all 12 sections – Tag Numbers – plus an
additional section for on-call physicians and the shared and community care plan
process.

This educational series will include discussion of a case that has created an
enormous expansion of hospital and practitioner liability under federal law. The
case, Moses v. Providence Hospital and Medical Centers, Inc., No. 07-2111 (6th
Cir. April 2009), overruled the CMS regulation that EMTALA obligations end when
the hospital admits the patient in good faith. The case illustrates the
importance of understanding the role that case law has on the outcome of EMTALA
litigation: patients can complain to CMS and request an investigation, or they
have the option of going and directly filing a lawsuit.

This program will also discuss a recent case against a hospital which was the
largest EMTALA settlement of 1.2 million dollars. It is anticipated that
healthcare will see larger EMTALA fines and more activity because of the higher
fines and the OIG final changes. These changes are not in the CMS CoPs and will
be discussed.

Objectives:-

 * Recognize EMTALA as a frequently cited deficiency for hospitals.
 * Recall that CMS has a manual on EMTALA that all hospitals that accept
   Medicare must follow.
 * Describe the requirement that hospitals must maintain a central log.
 * Discuss the hospital's requirement to maintain a list of the specific names
   of physicians on call to evaluate emergency department patients.
 * Describe the CMS requirements on what must be in the EMTALA sign.
 * Describe the hospital's requirements regarding a minor brought to the ED by a
   non-parent for a medical screening exam.
 * Discuss when the hospital must complete a certification of false labor.
