The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued changes to the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, known as EMTALA. Although CMS clarified some issues, others are still confusing. And there are still stiff penalties for violating the law, including fines of up to $50,000 and exclusion from Medicare. It's up to you to train all of your ED staff, clinical staff, and other workers to understand and comply with the new EMTALA law.
