Although CMS is retaining the commonly used “ABN” acronym, they have changed its official title to “Advanced Beneficiary Notice of Non-Coverage” in order to convey more clearly the purpose of the notice.
CMS has modified the ABN form from two forms to one form. Its notice was published in the Federal Register on May 25, 2007, announcing the start of a second public comment period for the revised version of the ABN (CMS-R-131).
