title: Physician and provider obligations under the Medicare antidumping provisions.
abstract: The Medicare antidumping provision enacted in 1986 and revised in 1989 has serious implications, not only for hospitals, but also for physicians who provide care for emergency patients. In this article, the author discusses the obligations of health care providers under that provision, some recent developments under the emerging case law, and the implications of these developments for physicians.
