What does HINN stand for?

• A. Hospital Issued Notice of Non-Coverage
• B. Health Information Notice of Non-Coverage
• C. Hospital Insurance Notice of Non-Coverage
• D. Health Inpatient Notice of Non-Coverage

Answer: (A)

HINN is the hospital-issued notice that informs a patient that inpatient services or the stay may not be covered by the payer. The key idea is who issues the notice and what it communicates: it comes from the hospital and states that coverage for non-coverage will apply. That’s why the exact wording is Hospital Issued Notice of Non-Coverage. The other phrasings don’t fit because they misidentify either who issues the notice (the hospital, not a general health information source or insurance entity) or the wording used (Non-Coverage is the precise term, not “Health Information,” “Hospital Insurance,” or “Health Inpatient”).
