If you're wondering how ICD-10 will affect reimbursements after Oct. 1, 2015, you can figure it out with some time and spreadsheets. If you're wondering if ICD-10 implementation will happen Oct. 1, 2015, you're going to have to guess.

Dan Haley is Vice-President of Government and Regulatory Affairs at athenahealth — you would think his job would mean he knows, says he doesn't have much insight to offer when asked if ICD-10 implementation will happen in 2015. But he offered some reasons why ICD-10 implementation is likely in 2015.
