Solicitation of Comments on the OIG/HCFA Special Advisory Bulletin on the Patient Anti-Dumping Statute

Краткое содержание

This Federal Register notice seeks the input and comments of interested parties on a Special Advisory Bulletin being developed by the OIG and HCFA designed to address requirements of the patient anti- dumping statute and the obligations of hospitals to screen all patients seeking emergency services and provide stabilizing medical treatment to enrollees of managed care plans if their condition warrants it. In developing this proposed issuance and soliciting public comment, it is our goal to provide clear and meaningful advice with regard to the application of the anti-dumping provisions, and ensure greater public awareness of the hospitals' obligations in providing emergency medical services to those individuals insured by managed care plans.
