I recently went to a gyn appointment (in NYC) where they wanted me to sign a 3-page document that included privacy notices, my permission to be treated and within it, what would be the ABN notice. The ABN should have been separate from everything else in my opinion. I felt how they presented it wasn't legal. There was no mention of anything they were going to do at the appointment that might not be covered by Medicare and Medigap. This to my mind was a blank check for them to do anything they wanted and I refused to sign it. (The doctor saw me anyway.)
Probably not pay for or not pay for?
