17. Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (“EMTALA”)
By using the InQuicker Site, you acknowledge that you understand agree to the following:
EMTALA is a complex federal law that imposes specific legal obligations on Medicare- participating hospitals that offer emergency services. User should consult private legal counsel for a full interpretation. Very generally speaking, for individuals who “come to the emergency department” and a request is made for (or there is an apparent need for) emergency treatment, the hospital must provide a medical screening examination to determine whether an emergency medical condition exists, regardless of the individual’s ability to pay. (As defined by EMTALA, “Comes to Emergency Department” includes coming to the hospital campus (or urgent care center in some cases).) If an emergency medical condition exists, then the hospital is required to provide stabilizing treatment for the individual. If the hospital is unable to stabilize an individual within the hospital’s capability (or if the individual requests), an appropriate transfer to another hospital must be made. Stabilizing treatment cannot be delayed to request the individual’s payment or payment or insurance information.
This Site is not part of the EMTALA screening process. User acknowledges that their use of the InQuicker Site is not the same as an individual “Coming to the Emergency Department” for EMTALA purposes and that, by use of the Site, neither User nor any person on whose behalf User is using the Site, will be deemed to have presented in person or physically to the hospital property or Emergency Department (or urgent care center in some cases) for EMTALA purposes. This Site is not a registration site for the hospital or Emergency Department (or urgent care center in some cases) and will not be monitored by the hospital staff/ physicians for triage purposes. This Site is not to be used by emergent/urgent patients. This Site is not considered property of the hospital or urgent care center or an online waiting room of the hospital or urgent care center. User acknowledges that the hospital’s EMTALA obligations (if any) will not begin until the User or the person on whose behalf User is using the Site physically presents to hospital property or to the hospital’s Emergency Department (or in some cases, the urgent care center).
User understands that the individual will be screened upon physical presentation to Emergency Department (or urgent care, in some cases) and will be treated based on the severity of the illness. This Site is meant to help reduce wait times by providing the individual with a projected best time to check in, but we do not guarantee that the individual will not have to wait longer if patients with more severe needs require more immediate attention.
User understands and agrees that the use of this Site does not create a physician – patient relationship with any healthcare provider. This Site is provided for the convenience of the individual only.
Participating hospitals and urgent care centers on the InQuicker Site may or may not be subject to EMTALA. User should confirm individual hospital’s and urgent care center’s EMTALA obligations with the individual hospital and urgent care center. User agrees that InQuicker is not subject to EMTALA enforcement, and User will not pursue a private right of action against InQuicker for any EMTALA violation or malpractice by any hospital, urgent care center or healthcare provider.
User should not delay seeking emergency care due to delayed projected -treatment times. User should call 911 in the event of an emergency
