Teleconference on the NEW Medicare ABN February 20, 2009, 1:00EST!

Are you ready for the new Medicare ABN? It becomes mandatory March 1, 2009. Does your office need training on when and how to utilize an ABN (Advance Beneficiary Notice)? Not sure whether or not you need training? Check out some of the comments below to see how well you do.

• Have you heard you no longer need to bill Medicare? NOT TRUE!
• Or that you no longer need to bill maintenance care? In some cases, that may be true – do you know when?
• Non-covered services may now be included — but only if you know how!
• On the new ABN, there are now THREE options from which the patient can choose. Do you know what you can and cannot tell the patient as they fill out their form?

  Final instructions were not released until September 2008—any information prior to that might be obsolete! Much of the training information available came out with the first wave of information (prior to September). Are you sure your information is UP-TO-DATE?

  There is so much mis-information about Medicare related issues. I always recommend that you KNOW YOUR SOURCE! Susan McClelland is a sought after lecturer on Medicare issues and I highly recommend her! You can be confident the information you get is necessary, current, and delivered in a manner which you will be able to understand and implement in your practice!

  If you need further information on the new ABN, take a moment to sign-up today and make sure that you are compliant!

  *The fee is $69.00 per office! Proceeds from the teleconference will benefit FCER, the Foundation for Chiropractic Education and Research.

  Medicare is not as scary as it seems, so long as you have good information.

  Practically Yours,
