To help physicians and their practices understand and adjust to these changes, the North Carolina Medical Society (NCMS) has created a new webpage, Workers’ Comp: Information for Physicians.
The Physicians Advocacy Institute (PAI), in collaboration with NCMS and other state medical associations, has developed a new resource to help physicians avoid and respond to audits and financial reviews conducted by Medicare, Medicaid and private payers.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) says it will continue its current policy that the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) does not extend to inpatients or to the transfer of inpatients to hospitals with specialized capabilities.
