Audio conference clarifies final EMTALA regulations
At press time, the final version of the recently proposed changes to the Emergency Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) was expected to become effective soon. Issues in the final regulations could include changes to physician on-call requirements, "comes to the emergency department" definitions, later-developed emergencies, nonhospital entities, and prior authorization. With all the confusion surrounding the proposals during the past year, make sure you know what it takes to comply with the final regulations.
