If you present as an Emergency admission, American hospitals must treat you as specified under EMTALA (Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act). If you do NOT present as an emrgency admit, you may or may not get treated. Your chances of entering as an emergency case increase if you are brought into an Emergency Room and/or come in via ambulance.
