DBN in Medical Billing
DBN stands for Demand Bill Notice, a form sent to patients when Medicare denies coverage for a service, allowing them to request a formal appeal.
DBN in Medical Billing Explained
In medical billing, a DBN is issued when a healthcare provider or facility believes that Medicare will not cover a service. The notice informs the patient of the potential denial and allows them to demand a bill be submitted to Medicare for an official coverage determination.
For example, if a provider expects Medicare to deny payment for a specific treatment, they provide the patient with a DBN to request formal billing to Medicare.
