The Advanced Beneficiary Notice (ABN) form should be used when the provider believes that Medicare probably or certainly will not pay for some or all of the items or services. Recently Medicare released a renewed ABN form with the expiration date 06/30/2023. It will be mandatory on August 31, 2020, and the form with the 3/31/2020 expiration will be considered invalid.

Why is the Discount Challenge prize amount $15,024? Because that is the average “per-occurrence” fine for Medicare inducements. That’s not $15,024 per patient, that’s not per provider, that’s PER VISIT. Stinks, doesn’t it? To us, the prize amount is worth the investment if we can help our profession better understand proper discounting.
