Billing & Coding: Why Chiropractors Need to Know About ABN Forms

Welcome to your billing and coding weekly solutions by H.J. Ross Company where getting your bills paid is what we do best!

Do chiropractors need to know about Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN) forms?

The answer is YES!

An ABN, also known as a waiver of liability, is a notice you as a chiropractic provider should give to your patients before they receive a service if, based on Medicare coverage rules, you as a provider have reason to believe Medicare will not pay for your service(s).

As a chiropractor, you can choose to participate or be a non-participating provider for Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

However, you still need to know the functions of an ABN.

Did you know there is a different ABN version for participating and non-participating providers?

Note the differences in the ABN versions specifically Option 1 and section H for non-participating providers.
