Coverage (CMS-10124); Use: The Notice of Medicare Provider Non-Coverage 
(CMS-10123) is used to inform fee-for-service Medicare beneficiaries of 
the determination that their provider services will end, and of their

beneficiaries who request an expedited determination with detailed 
information of why the services should end. The revised Notice of
