The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has recently updated the Advance Beneficiary Notice of Non-coverage (ABN), the form providers use to inform patients when Medicare may not cover a service.
The updated ABN is effective now and expires March 31, 2029. Providers may continue to use the expired version of the ABN until May 12, 2026, but must transition to the approved form no later than that date.
Providers should start using this ABN form ASAP, and have 60 days to transition all their patients under a current ABN to the new form.
ATTENTION MCA MEMBERS: The forms and instructions can be easily accessed through Member Central at https://marylandchiro.com/members/#advocacy.
