Requires any Medicare-participating hospital that operates a hospital emergency department to provide an appropriate medical screening examination to any patient who requests such an examination. If the hospital determines that the patient has an emergency medical condition, it must either stabilize the patient’s condition or arrange for a transfer. However, the hospital may only transfer the patient if the medical benefits of the transfer outweigh the risks or if the patient requests the transfer. This is also known as the “anti-dumping law.”
