Is your Organization Using the Correct Advance Beneficiary and Notice of Medicare Non- Coverage Forms?

A recent question from a member brought up the subject of Advance Beneficiary and Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage Forms. Surveyors are known to check for the correct use of these forms and that the most current form is being used. It is a good practice to have in your policies that someone in the organization is checking periodically (at least quarterly is good) that you are using the latest form.

Here are the latest forms for you to use:
