The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid require a provider to notify Medicare beneficiaries when a service may not be covered under the Medicare program. The Advance Beneficiary Notice of Non-coverage (ABN) must be completed by the provider, or his/her representative, and signed by the patient, before a service is rendered.
The appropriate situation to use the Notice of Medicare Non Coverage form can be confused among providers and NHPCO’s regulatory team often answers questions about these two forms.
Hear NHPCO’s Judi Lund Person and Jennifer Kennedy discuss these commonly confused forms and learn more about the requirement to inform a patient when Medicare will no longer pay for a service.
