What is required if the test is not on Medicares list of predetermined coverage conditions?
The patient will be asked to sign an Advance Beneficiary Notice if the diagnosis for the test ordered is not on Medicare’s list of predetermined covered conditions. A signature is required in order for the laboratory to perform the test. A signature acknowledges that the patient may be billed for the test and that he or she agrees to pay should Medicare deny payment.
