Eric Neiman, Member of the Firm, co-presents “What Is Your Emergency: Update 2025 on Emergency Response Services and Behavioral Health Crisis Alternatives” at the AHLA Advising Providers Conference, which runs from February 19 to 21.

Ambulance transport is a critical part of the US health system, involving tens of millions of emergency transports annually. The industry has experienced many of the same challenges as other parts of the inter-connected acute care health system in recent years: Overwhelming demands during the pandemic, staffing shortages, behavioral crises in the community, struggles to deliver care in rural, and underserved communities. This presentation will provide an update on legal issues affecting ambulance transport and other aspects of emergency medical services.

Topics include:

  • Federal regulatory update and state law trends
  • Staffing shortages and proposed solutions
  • Wall time: Challenges at the emergency department interface and EMTALA
  • Emergency responders and law enforcement
  • Mobile crisis response and other alternatives for behavioral emergencies
  • Ambulance deserts: Emergency medical services in rural and underserved areas
