Adavanced Beneficiary Notice

[Guest guest]

Hello Group,

A small portion of our long term care therapy caseload is billed via

Medicare Part B. Usually the 20% not covered by Medicare is picked up

by a supplemental policy.

I have read the ABN is to be used if " Medicare reimbursement is

expected to be denied " . In the situation described above, am I

obligated to use the ABN. Any input is greatly appreciated.
