Advance Beneficiary Notice in Medical Billing
An Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN) is a form given to Medicare patients to notify them of potential non-coverage of a specific service or procedure.
Advance Beneficiary Notice in Medical Billing Explained
The ABN informs patients that Medicare may not cover a service they are about to receive and that they will be responsible for payment if coverage is denied. It is required by Medicare for services that may be deemed medically unnecessary.
For example, a patient may sign an ABN before receiving a procedure that Medicare is unlikely to cover, agreeing to pay out-of-pocket if it is denied.
