What is an Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN) and When Must a Practice Provide One?

During this episode we will discuss the scenario when a provider is planning to perform a service that they expect the insurance to not cover. Is the practice required to notify the patient of this tricky situation? Is the patient responsible to pay out of pocket every single time in every situation? We will review what the medical staff and a patient need to be aware of to prevent reimbursement issues with services that may not be covered.
