EMTALA and Patients With Psychiatric Emergencies: A Review of Relevant Case Law Rachel A. Lindor, JD, Ronna L. Campbell, MD, PhD, Jesse M. Pines, MD, MBA, Gabrielle J. Melin, MD, Agnes M.

Figure Number of EMTALA cases involving psychiatric patients published per year. The cases are shown here in the year they were decided rather than the year that the inciting event occurred or the year the cases were filed. The average time between the inciting event and the final decision was nearly 4 years because of the time it takes for a case to progress through the court system.
