Good afternoon everyone,
Can anyone shed some light on an office debate here? we were advise by pur legal councel to start issuing ABN's to our patient because after going to PDAC and originally they assigend us a misc code (we are a new product), they turned around and gave us a non-covered code (A9270). This was on our old product and we have a new version now. If we give out patients abns - would this be considered a "blanket abn"? if we do this and append the correct modifier are we waiving our rights to appeal and we would have to collect all money upfront from the patient? I as always appreciate your expertise!
