Hello everyone,
I need some help in regards to filling out an ABN.

For example in the items or services we write echocardiogram.

Reason: htn

Is this approipriate, or should we write not a covered diagnosis?

Thanks,
yvette
 
Hi,

I just read over the ABN Form Instructions and it says to use "beneficiary friendly" language for the reason services wouldn't be covered. I would state "not a covered diagnosis" versus writing in the actual code.

Also, below is a link for the info I found, as well as the updated ABN version. I hope they are of help to you.

Good Luck!
