SNFs must use the SNFABN when applicable for SNF Prospective Payment System services (Medicare Part A). <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SNFs will continue to use the ABN Form CMS-R-131 when applicable for Medicare Part B items and services.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Form Filling Instructions for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SNF Advanced Beneficiary Notice<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The SNFABN has 5 sections for completion i.e., header, body, option boxes, additional information, and signature &amp; date. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Failure to use this notice or significant alterations of the SNFABN could result in the notice being invalidated and\/or the SNF being held liable for the care in question.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Header<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The header of SNFABN includes SNF information, patient name, and identification number.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The SNF must include the SNF\u2019s name, address, and phone number, at a minimum. A TTY number should be included when necessary to meet a beneficiary\u2019s needs. Adding the SNF\u2019s email address, additional contact information, and\/or corporate logo is optional.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SNFs must enter the first and last name of the beneficiary receiving the notice, and a middle initial should be entered if there is one on the beneficiary\u2019s Medicare card. The SNFABN will still be valid if there\u2019s a misspelling or missing initial, as long as the beneficiary or their authorized representative recognizes the name listed on the notice.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Entering an identification number is optional, and the SNFABN is valid if this space is left blank.\u00a0 SNFs may insert an internal filing number (such as a medical record number) that might help link the notice with a related claim. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicare.gov\/\">Medicare<\/a> numbers (i.e., Health Insurance Claim Numbers) or Social Security numbers must not<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">be listed on the notice.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Body<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the blank that follows \u201cBeginning on\u2026,\u201d the SNF enters the date on which the beneficiary may be responsible for paying for care that Medicare isn\u2019t expected to cover.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the \u2018Care\u2019 section, the SNF lists the care that it believes may not or won\u2019t be covered by Medicare. The description must be written in plain language that the beneficiary can understand. The care can be listed as \u201cinpatient stay at this facility,\u201d for example.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The SNF must give the applicable Medicare coverage guideline(s) and a brief explanation of why the beneficiary\u2019s medical needs or condition do not meet Medicare coverage guidelines. The reason must be sufficient and specific enough to enable the beneficiary to understand why Medicare may deny payment.<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example: Beneficiary no longer requires skilled care but wants to continue residing in the SNF. The reason Medicare May Not Pay: You need only assistive or supportive care. You don\u2019t require daily skilled care by a professional nurse or therapist. Medicare won\u2019t pay for your stay at this facility unless you require daily skilled care.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the \u201cEstimated Cost\u201d section, the SNF enters the estimated cost of the corresponding care that may not be covered by Medicare. The SNF should enter an estimated total cost or a daily, per item, or per service cost estimate. SNFs must make a good-faith effort to insert a reasonable cost estimate for the care. The lack of a cost estimate entry on the SNFABN or an amount that is different than the final actual cost charged to the beneficiary does not invalidate the SNFABN.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Option Boxes<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are 3 options listed on the SNFABN with corresponding checkboxes. The beneficiary must check only one option box. If the beneficiary is physically unable to make a selection, the SNF may enter the beneficiary\u2019s selection at his\/her request and indicate on the notice that this was done for the beneficiary.\u00a0 Otherwise, SNFs are not permitted to select or pre-select an option for the beneficiary as this invalidates the notice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additional Information<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SNFs may use this space to clarify and\/or provide any additional information they think might be helpful to the beneficiary.\u00a0 For example, SNFs may use this space to include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">information on other insurance coverage, such as a Medigap policy, if applicable;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an additional dated witness signature; or<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">other necessary notes.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Information in this section will be assumed to have been made on the same date the SNFABN is issued.\u00a0 If the notes are made on different dates, include those dates in the notes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Signature and Date<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The beneficiary or their authorized representative must sign the signature box to acknowledge that they read and understood the notice. The SNF may fill in the date if the beneficiary needs help. This date should reflect the date that the SNF gave the notice to the beneficiary in person, or when appropriate, the date contact was made with the beneficiary\u2019s authorized representative by phone. If an authorized representative signs for the beneficiary, write \u201c(rep)\u201d or \u201c(representative)\u201d next to the signature.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>MedicalBillersandCoders (MBC)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a leading revenue cycle company providing complete medical billing services.
