ABN in Medical Billing Explained
An ABN is given to Medicare patients when a healthcare provider believes that a service might not be covered by Medicare. The form explains the potential cost to the patient, allowing them to decide whether or not to proceed with the service and be responsible for the payment.
For example, a patient receiving a test that is not usually covered by Medicare must sign an ABN acknowledging that they may have to pay out of pocket.
