Abstract: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requests a new collection named the Home Health Change of Care Notice (HHCCN), Form CMS -10280, to replace, in part, the existing, previously approved Office of Management and Budget (OMB) notice, titled the Home Health Advance Beneficiary Notice (HHABN) (CMS-R-296). The use of written notices to inform beneficiaries of their liability under specific conditions has been available since the "limitation on liability" provisions in ?1879 of the Act were enacted in 1972 (P.L. 92-603). The revised Advanced Beneficiary Notice of Noncoverage (ABN) for conveying information on beneficiary liability is approved by OMB, consistent with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA); however, HHAs have been historically excluded from using the ABN as a liability notice for their services and have used the HHABN exclusively. In an effort to streamline, reduce, and simplify appeals notices issued to Medicare beneficiaries, the appeals portion of the HHABN will be replaced by the existing ABN (CMS -R-131) which is presently used by providers other than HHAs to inform Fee For Service (FFS) Medicare beneficiaries of potential liability for certain items/services that might be billed to Medicare. Pursuant to a separate PRA package revising the use of the ABN, HHAs will now use the ABN for liability notification, and the HHCCN will be introduced as a separate, distinct document to give change of care notice in compliance with HHA COPs.
