Every hospital that has an emergency department an= d accepts Medìcare or Medìcaid reimbursement must follow the = federal law and the Centers for Medìcare and Medìcaid Service= s (CMS) interpretive guidelines on the Emergency Medical Treatment and Lab&= ograve;r Act (EMTALA).

However, did you know that EMTALA deficiencies were the num= ber one problematic standard for hospitals from CMS? CMS has started issuin= g quarterly deficiency memos and many hospitals were surprised to see that = EMTALA deficiencies were a top deficiency and many involved the on-call phy= sician issue. The current CMS deficiency report found over 3,687 EMTALA def= iciencies. There were 173 related to on-call physician issues.

= Stiff penalties attach for both hospitals and the physicians for violating = this law. However, did you know that the penalty has more than doubled? Thi= s includes up to a $104,826 fine for hospitals with 100 or more beds and ex= clusion from the Medìcare program. Physicians can be fined and exclu= ded from participating in any federal program and their license revoked by = the state medical board.
