CMS Advance Beneficiary Notice of Noncoverage (ABN)
Notify a Medicare patient that a service being rendered may not be paid by Medicare.
 
More Information
  • Access the CMS Beneficiary Notices Initiative web page for form and instructions
  • Maintain this form with the patient’s medical records. We also suggest that you offer the patient a copy for his/her records.
Overpayment Refund Form
Notify Palmetto GBA when you identify an overpayment from Medicare.
Extended Repayment Plan (ERP) Form
Request an extended repayment plan when an overpayment is assessed and you cannot repay the amount within 30 days of receipt of the first demand letter.
Redetermination/Reopening Request Form
Appeal an initial claim determination (usually a denial) or to request a reopening of a claim (usually a denial that is based on a clerical error or other minor error).
 
More Information
  • If you are unsure whether to request a redetermination or a reopening, request a redetermination, as there are specific time limits for submitting redetermination requests
  • You must request a redetermination within 120 days of the date of the initial claim determination
  • Please note: claims that are "returned as unprocessable" (remark code MA130) have no appeal rights and should not be sent for redetermination. These claims must be corrected and resubmitted as new claims.
Reconsideration Request Form
Request the second level of appeal. 
 
More Information
  • A reconsideration is "an appeal of an appeal." This form may be used only after a redetermination (first level of appeal) has been completed and you wish to appeal the contractor’s redetermination decision to the next level. The reconsideration is the second level of appeal.
  • Do not submit these forms to Palmetto GBA. Access the Palmetto GBA Forms Web page for your state to download the form, and submit to the address listed on the form.
Written Inquiry Form
Submit a question to Palmetto GBA.
 
More Information
  • The form makes it easy for you to submit all required authentication information (NPI, PTAN and TIN) and a clear description of your question
  • It also includes other resources that may help you obtain a quicker response
MSP Explanation Form
Provide supporting documentation for paper MSP claims. This form is particularly useful for situations in which the primary insurers' explanation of benefits (EOB) is very general regarding the reason the service was denied or only partially paid.
