EMTALA has always been an especially worrisome law for providers because its requirements are both sweeping and vague, with potentially drastic penalties for violations. The new regulations remove only some of the law's vagueness. As with previous EMTALA amendments, all United States hospitals, as well as emergency department physicians and other doctors who see patients in the emergency department, should carefully review their internal policies regarding patient ++ transfers in light of the new regulations. For example, hospitals must have an internal policy for following up on suspicious transfers, as failure to detect an inappropriate transfer can now potentially result in a Medicare decertification action. Also, hospitals with specialized services (e.g., burn units or shock-trauma units) should review their policies on receiving transfer patients in light of the greater specificity of the new regulations. Finally, because of the confusing new requirements regarding ambulance services, all hospitals should review their relationships with and policies regarding, ambulance services and ambulance diversion.
