!!UPDATE!! ABN Form Renewal Approved
Last month it was announced that the Advance Beneficiary Notice of Noncoverage (ABN) form and instructions had been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for renewal. The announcement originally instructed the mandatory start date for utilizing the renewed form would be August 31, 2020. However, due to COVID-19 concerns, CMS has expanded the deadline for the use of the renewed ABN form. CMS has set the new mandatory date for use to January 1, 2021. CMS also states the new form can be implemented prior to this date. The ABN webpage has updated information along with renewed forms and instructions, which can be located here.
