EMTALA Law – Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act
Look into it.
Any individual who comes to a hospital requesting an examination or treatment for a medical condition must receive an appropriate medical screening examination within the capability of the hospital’s Emergency Department.

Emergency medicine is a medical specialty in which a physician receives practical training to provide patients with acute illnesses or injuries which require immediate medical attention. While not usually providing long-term or continuing care, emergency medicine physicians diagnose a variety of illnesses and undertake acute interventions to stabilize the patient. Emergency medicine physicians practice in hospital emergency departments, in the pre-hospital setting via emergency medical service and other locations where initial medical treatment of illness takes place. Just as clinicians operate by immediacy rules under large emergency systems, emergency practitioners aim to diagnose emergent conditions and stabilize the patient for definitive care.
Urgent Care Centers are often staffed by physicians, physician assistants, nurses and nurse practitioners who may or may not be formally trained in emergency medicine. They offer primary care treatment to patients who desire or require immediate care, but who do not reach the acuity that requires care in an emergency department or admission to a hospital.
You can obtain a list of urgent care providers in a specific area by using our Find an Urgent Care Provider tool. Just enter a zip code in the tool and you are given a list of urgent care walk in clinics and the distance in miles from the zip code. If you use our advanced search, you can narrow down the list by providing a radius limit.
Take care as always
