List,
I was recently approached by a mastectomy products vendor who recommended a billing process for bras to medicare patients. There suggestion is to get a ABN signed and collect the difference over medicare allowables from the patient. I have checked with some of the local DME companies who confirm the process as there current policy. Is this a form of Medicare fraud? I am under the understanding that the ABN is for non covered items.
Sincerely,
Jerry Hinton, BOCO,CO,LP
