🚨 New Medicare ABN Form Released - 3/13/2026

CMS has issued an updated Advance Beneficiary Notice of Noncoverage (ABN) for Medicare Fee-for-Service.

If your practice or billing company uses ABNs, now is the time to download the updated form and review the instructions to make sure you’re using the correct version. Using the wrong form or completing it incorrectly can put providers at risk of losing the ability to bill the patient when Medicare denies a service.

📌 Special Note from CMS (March 13, 2026):
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved the control number for the updated Advance Beneficiary Notice of Non-coverage (ABN) (CMS-R-131). CMS has notified the industry through its website and the Medicare Learning Network.

‼️The updated ABN is effective now and expires March 31, 2029.
Providers may continue using the expired version until May 12, 2026, but must transition to the approved form by that date. ‼️

🔎 ABN overview page (CMS):
https://www.cms.gov/medicare/forms-notices/beneficiary-notices-initiative/ffs-abn

📄 ABN instructions:
https://www.cms.gov/medicare/medicare-general-information/bni/downloads/abn-form-instructions.pdf

⬇️ Download the updated ABN forms (English, Spanish, and large print):
https://www.cms.gov/medicare/medicare-general-information/bni/downloads/abn-forms-english-and-spanish-incl-large-print.zip

ABNs may seem straightforward, but errors in how they’re issued or completed can lead to compliance problems and lost revenue. If you work in medical billing, coding, or compliance, it’s worth reviewing the updated form now so your team is ready before the transition deadline.

🚨 Compliance Webinar Tomorrow: Are You Screening Every Employee Every 30 Days?

Many providers believe checking the OIG exclusion list once during hiring is enough.

It isn’t.

OIG strongly recommends screening employees, contractors, and vendors against federal and state exclusion lists every 30 days. Individuals can be added to these lists at any time, and regulators expect providers and billing companies to have a process in place to identify them.

⚠️ If an excluded individual participates in services billed to Medicare or Medicaid, those claims may be considered false claims, even if the services were legitimate.

Tomorrow, former federal prosecutors Robert Liles and Paul Weidenfeld will explain:

• Which federal and state exclusion databases must be checked
• How often screening should be performed
• How the CMS Preclusion List impacts billing
• What regulators look for during audits

Our Story

AMBA offers resources, education and national certification for medical billing (CMRS) and medical coding (CMCS). We work with independent third party and doctor's office billers and coders from across the nation. AMBA has been around since 1998. We hold a national conference in October every year where billers, coders and billing company owners of influence come together to learn and share information, ideas and network. We know that billers absolutely can do a much better job at billing if they understanding coding. That’s why we developed our coding credential.
