CMS Issues Revised EMTALA Signage Guidance
EMTALA (Aug. 23, 2024) – The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services issued revised guidance on model signage for EMTALA. CMS regulations require Medicare-participating hospitals to post signage outlining patients' rights under EMTALA in the emergency department and areas where patients will be examined or treated or wait to be examined or treated. CMS published new posters in English and Spanish and a revised translated taglines document.
