FFS HHABN

Home health agencies should continue using the HHABN with the date 10/31/12 in the lower left corner. There is not an updated notice available at this time; please check this web page periodically for updates.

Chapter 30, Section 60 of the Medicare Claims Processing Manual on HHABN policy and issuance has been revised.

Change Request (CR) 7323 implements revised section instructions for the Home Health Beneficiary Notice of Noncoverage (HHABN), Form CMS-R-296.  Ch. 30, Section 60 was edited to simplify the presentation of existing HHABN information. There have been no substantive changes to the policy, and there are no changes to the HHABN with the release of these revised instructions.  Effective February 3, 2012, the revised section, as published in CR 7323, replaces the previously published version in the Medicare Claims Processing Manual (CR 5009 published August 11, 2006 and listed below as "CMS Manual HHABN Instructions").
