Abstract
On September 16, 2003, the American Health Lawyers Association's (Health Lawyers) Regulation, Accreditation, and Payment Practice Group and its Liability Practice Group sponsored a teleconference entitled EMTALA: Finally Final Regulations. During that Teleconference, Messrs. Barker and Urbanowicz, from the perspective of their positions at Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and the Department of Health and Human Services, gave an informal overview of the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) final regulations that were unveiled a week earlier. Ms. Joy critiqued the regulations from the practitioner's standpoint, followed by questions from the teleconference off-site participants. This Article is a transcript of that teleconference, modified by the addition of endnotes and slight editing for publication.
