Does Main Line Health accept assignment from Medicare?
Yes, we do. By accepting assignment, Main Line Health agrees not to bill the patient for any charges Medicare disallows. However, we do bill patients for deductibles, co-insurance and non-covered services. There are instances when Medicare may not cover certain procedures or frequency of treatment. If that applies, you will be given the Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN). The purpose of the ABN form is to let you know in advance that certain services may not be covered and to advise that you may be responsible for payment of these charges. An ABN gives you the option to accept or refuse the items or services in cases where Medicare denies payment.
