Why is an ABN Important?

Reimbursement! The patients are going to be personally liable for full payment if Medicare denies payment for a selected procedure or treatment. An ABN is important because it allows a provider to administer service to a medicare patient which will not be covered by medicare. The ABN must tend to the patient before any provided service or procedure.

If there’s no signed ABN then you can’t bill the patient and it must be written off if denied by Medicare.
