Based on a Medicare webinar I attended a while back, be sure that your disciplines are in separate boxes with the reason the visits are not covered for each discipline. Here is an example.

Agree homemaking will not go on there. But you say “our rates” is that your private pay rates then? We have Private pay rates and Medicare rates

If it’s not a medicare covered service, then no it does not belong on abn. We use our rates and we put the service type and the general care for the services types on the abn.

A question on ABN’s….
When filing in Box F do you use your private pay rate or Medicare rate as a general rule?
In Box D you put in Skilled Nurse, Home health aide…do you ever put in Homemaker or no because it is never covered by Medicare?
Thanks
