Abstract:The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) was passed in 1986 and governs the obligations of licensed hospitals that participate in the Medicare program with respect to patients with emergency medical conditions. Psychiatric units and facilities often believe that it does not apply to them, or they are cavalier in their efforts to comply with it. If the entity is a licensed hospital, or operates within a licensed hospital, that participates in Medicare, the Act is fully applicable to them. Such entities disregard EMTALA at their peril.
