Assess the effect of the new ABN

CMS instructs mandatory use by September 1

by William L. Malm, ND, RN

In a much anticipated move, CMS released the new Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN) of Noncoverage March 3.

This form, also known as the CMS-R-131, will be used for all Part B provider and supplier services. The form replaces the existing ABN-G and ABN-L, and it may also be used for voluntary notifications in place of the Notice of Exclusion from Medicare Benefits.

It will not replace the SNF ABN (SNFABN-G) form, which is currently under development.
