Medicare ABN Form Identifiers

A. Notifier: The provider’s office name notifying the patient.

Ex: MMD, DMD, etc.

B. Patient Name: Name of patient signing the ABN.

C. Identification Number: The patient’s Medicare Identification Number consists of letters and numbers.

D. Name of product that is being dispensed to the patient.

Ex: DVT. The product name must be completed in EACH section where the D. is found.

E. Reason Medicare May Not Pay: Here, you will give a very descriptive explanation as to why Medicare may not pay for the dispensed item.

Ex: DVT is not covered by Medicare due to not being medically necessary. A Pneumatic Compression Device coded as E0676 is used only for prevention of venous thrombosis. Medicare does not find the device medically necessary for prevention.

F. Cost Estimator: Here, you will list the estimated cost of the device that is being dispensed. This is the estimated cost for which the patient will be responsible.

G. The PATIENT needs to choose options 1, 2, or 3 based on their preference. We can explain the options but cannot physically mark the sheet for the patient.

H. Additional Information: Any additional documentation and/or comments that would be helpful to the patient can be placed here.
