Medicare has come out with a new ABN that must be implemented by Nov. 1, 2011.
Here’s a link to the package that includes instructions as well as the form in both PDF and Word versions. Not sure if you are already updated? Make sure that your ABN has the 3/2011 date on the bottom of the form, NOT the old 2008 version by Nov. 1, 2011. https://www.cms.gov/BNI/02_ABN.asp
Take a minute to review the forms with all of your staff, including the doctor. An ABN form that is not delivered properly is void, so make sure that you know how and when to use the form!
***Updated, this has been changed to give practices until Jan 1. 2012 to implement the new form.****
