Hospital-Issued Notice of Non-Coverage (HINN)

A Hospital-Issued Notice of Non-Coverage (HINN) is a notice provided by a hospital to a patient or their representative, informing them that a particular service or treatment may not be covered by their insurance plan. HINNs are typically issued when a hospital anticipates that certain services may not meet the criteria for coverage under the patient’s insurance policy, such as extended hospital stays or certain medical procedures. The HINN notifies patients of their potential financial responsibility for these services and may include information on their right to appeal the coverage decision.
