About the rule

What it is

The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) requires hospitals that participate in Medicare and offer emergency services to give a medical screening examination to anyone who comes to the emergency department asking for care, and to stabilize or appropriately transfer anyone with an emergency medical condition, whatever their ability to pay. CMS enforces it through its regulation at 42 CFR 489.24, and the HHS Office of Inspector General can impose civil monetary penalties.
