Without question, probably the most misunderstood and misrepresented form in the ambulance business.  The Advance Beneficiary Notice rears its ugly head daily in our industry primarily because providers are just not sure about when or when not to use the form.  In this edition of The QMC Board & Collar,  we will help sort through this Ball of Confusion and set the record straight on the ABN or more confusingly known as CMS-R-131 (v.03-11).  Ugh...Great Googa Mooga!
