Notice
Testing for Medicare hospital inpatients or outpatients must be billed to the drawing institution. For all other patients, Athena Diagnostics will submit claims to Medicare (in Massachusetts) for most of our tests. If your test is covered by Medicare, you are not responsible for any payment. Unfortunately, certain tests remain uncovered at this time. For such testing, the patient must read and sign the Advance Beneficiary Notice provided by Athena on the Medicare Test Requisition. The patient must also provide a personal check or credit card information for the full cost of the test prior to testing. Athena will not cash the check or process the credit card until it has received a denial from Medicare. Medicare beneficiaries are not eligible to participate in the Patient Protection Plan. Athena Diagnostics does not accept credit card information via E-mail. Download an ABN
