EMTALA Training for On-Call Physicians reviews the basic knowledge essential for every practicing physician with hospital privileges – and then turns its focus to ON-CALL RESPONSIBILITIES. We emphasize the common pitfalls for the hospital on-call medical staff physician and use real-world examples.
This EMTALA training class is presented by Robert Bitterman, MD, JD, FACEP, a healthcare attorney who has authored many articles on the subject as well as the comprehensive EMTALA textbook published by the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP).
This course provides the training necessary to navigate the evolving regulatory minefield that is EMTALA.
Penalties for non-compliance with EMTALA on-call regulations are now almost $120,000 per violation with possible loss of Medicare certification. And one complaint can produce multiple violations for each affected patient! Sign up for this EMTALA class today!
NOTE: CMS requires that hospitals educate on-call medical staff physicians on their duties related to ED call and accepting patients in transfer:
“In particular, on-call physicians need to be educated as to their responsibilities under EMTALA, including the responsibility to accept appropriately transferred individuals from other facilities.”
