Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

EMTALA is enforced by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), not the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It was not part of HIPAA but a separate act passed in 1986 to ensure public access to emergency services regardless of ability to pay. It is sometimes informally referred to as the "anti-dumping" law, aimed at preventing hospitals from refusing to treat patients or transferring them to other facilities because they cannot pay or are uninsured, not the "anti patient" act.
