The Most Cited Deficiencies and How to Avoid Them
EMTALA is a hot topic and should now be on the radar screen for every hospital. There have been a recent increased number of deficiencies and intense CMS and OIG activity. With a recent CMS deficiency memo showing over 4,000 hospitals receiving deficiencies for non-compliance with EMTALA (most of whom were unprepared!), this is now the most frequent area of noncompliance.
What would you do if a CMS surveyor shows up at your hospital today to investigate an EMTALA complaint? You are required to report a potential EMTALA violation. Do you know when? If you are a hospital with over 100 beds, you may have to shell out almost $105,000 for each violation.
In this three-part EMTALA webinar series presented by industry veteran, Sue Dill Calloway, you will learn all you need to know about the EMTALA regulations and interpretive guidelines. It will include all 12 sections and an expanded section for on-call physicians, and the shared and community care plan process.
We will also discuss an important recent case against a South Carolina hospital which was the largest EMTALA settlement of 1.2 million dollars. We see this as a precedent for larger EMTALA fines and stricter enforcement by the OIG. Though these are not covered in the CMS CoPs, we will discuss these topics so that you are not caught off guard when enforcement actions intensify.
We will also discuss one very crucial case that has created an enormous expansion of hospital and practitioner liability under federal law. This case illustrates the importance of understanding the role case law on the outcome of EMTALA litigation. Patients can now complain to CMS and request an investigation or they have the option of going and directly filing a lawsuit.
Failure to comply and follow the federal EMTALA for all hospitals, including critical access hospitals, could result in loss of Medicare and Medicaid payments. Financial penalties can be assessed against hospitals and physicians who negligently violate the EMTALA law.
The federal EMTALA law and the accompanying regulations are complex and the purpose of this 3-part webinar series is to simplify these regulations and statutes in a structured way to make it understandable and fit for consumption with a liberal use of practical examples and case scenarios.
