Federal Register. 2003; 68,174: 53222 Google Scholar The provisions that received clarification were the determination of when the EMTALA provisions apply to a patient being admitted to an inpatient status. The federal government representatives were quick to state that these changes were not new rules, but rather just a clarification of existing provisions.
