Update: Advance Beneficiary Notice of Noncoverage (ABN), Form CMS-R-131 Renewal

In the August 2020 J15 Medicare Bulletin, we told you about the renewed ABN Form CMS-R-131 (expiration date of 06/30/2023) will be mandatory on 8/31/2020. Due to the COVID-19 concerns, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is going to expand the deadline for use of the renewed ABN, Form CMS-R-131.  At this time, the renewed ABN will be mandatory for use on 1/1/2021. The renewed form may be implemented prior to the mandatory deadline. The ABN form and instructions may be found here.External Website
