Diagnosis: Reasons each test is being ordered. It is preferred that the ordering provider include ICD10 Diagnosis Codes rather than narratives

**** When ordering tests for Medicare and Medicaid patients, please select only those tests which are medically necessary for the diagnosis or treatment of the patient. Medicare does not generally pay for the routine screening tests or those they consider not medically necessary. When ordering testing for patients who are asymptomatic, solely for the purpose of screening, please indicate that the test is being ordered to screen for a particular condition. Medicare patients will be billed for screening tests not covered by Medicare. If a test is being ordered to rule out a condition you suspect because of specific symptoms present in the patient, please document the symptoms as the reason(s) for the testing. **** 

**** We cannot file claims with any carrier (Medicare, Medicaid, and Insurance) without diagnosis information. Diagnoses (reasons for testing) include symptoms, conditions, complaints, therapeutic medications directly related to the tests, which are documented in the patient's chart as the reason the testing is being ordered. ****

Medicare ABN 

The Advanced Beneficiary Notice (ABN) is a notice given to beneficiaries in Original Medicare to convey that Medicare is not likely to provide coverage in a specific case. “Notifiers” include physicians, providers (including institutional providers like outpatient hospitals), practitioners and suppliers paid under Part B, as well as hospice providers and religious non-medical health care institutions (RNHCIs) paid exclusively under Part A. They must complete the ABN as described below, and deliver the notice to affected beneficiaries or their representative before providing the items or services that are the subject of the notice. (Note that Medicare inpatient hospitals, skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), and home health agencies (HHAs) use other approved notices for this purpose.) The ABN must be verbally reviewed with the beneficiary or his/her representative and any questions raise during that review must be answered before it is signed. The ABN must be delivered far enough in advance that the beneficiary or representative has time to consider the options and make an informed choice. Employees or subcontractors of the notifier may deliver the ABN. ABNs are never required in emergency or urgent care situations. Once all blanks are completed and the form is signed, a copy is given to thebeneficiary or representative. In all cases, the notifier must retain the original notice on file.
