ABN Changes

Published on Monday, December 28, 2020

In 2021, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is requiring changes to the Advance beneficiary Notice (ABN) to accommodate dually eligible beneficiaries. 

These changes will show up in Epic starting on January 1, 2021. 

Dually Eligible Beneficiaries Form

CMS has issued new instructions for providing ABNs to patients who are dually eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid. These instructions include striking out some words on the standard ABN form. To simplify this task for end users, we are releasing a form with the text already crossed out. You can select it in standard ABN workflows in Epic.
