CMS has published the updated Advance Beneficiary Notice of Non-coverage (ABN).
 
The ABN is issued by home health agencies and hospices in situations where Medicare payment is expected to be denied.
 
The updated ABN is effective now and expires March 31, 2029. Providers may continue to use the expired version of the ABN until May 12, 2026, but must transition to the approved form no later than that date.
