How can undocumented persons get COVID-19 treatment?

Answered by Tayo Editorial Desk Staff
  • Updated

Although hospital workers may ask about your insurance status, they should not ask about a person's documentation status. There is a law called EMTALA (Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act) that states that anyone who comes into the emergency room requiring life-saving medical attention must be medically stabilized regardless of their ability to pay, including documentation status.
