Represented one of the largest inpatient psych hospital chains in the U.S. against nine EMTALA (Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act) violations brought by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) and referred to the U.S. Office of Inspector General (OIG). The allegations against the client were the result of a surprise onsite EMTALA audit by CMS. The Benesch team prepared and represented the client through the due process hearing held in front of a panel of QIO physicians. Upon review of the hearing materials, the OIG decided not to pursue civil money penalties against the client which could have exceeded $111,000 per violation.
