In this episode, we talk with Dr. Sean Michael, Regional Chief Medical Officer for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. We discuss EMTALA as a tool for emergency departments and EM physicians to facilitate the management, acceptance, and transfer of behavioral health patients. We often see EMTALA as a barrier, but we discuss how it can be used to better serve your patients.
