The definition of an Emergency medical condition is a medical condition that manifests itself by symptoms of sufficient severity that a prudent layperson, possessing an average knowledge of health and medicine, would reasonably expect that failure to receive immediate medical attention would place the health of a person (or a fetus in the case of a pregnant woman) in serious jeopardy.
Emergency Services are those health care items and services furnished in an emergency department. Service include all ancillary services routinely available to an emergency department to the extent they are required for the stabilization of the patient.
Emergency Medical Screening Exams include medical history, examination, ancillary tests and medial determinations required to ascertain the nature and extent of an emergency medical condition.
