Health groups urge Congress to keep next year's ICD-10 deadline | Healthcare Dive
By Anne Zieger | November 20, 2014
Dive Brief:
A group of healthcare organizations has sent a letter to Congressional leaders urging them to make sure there are no further delays to ICD-10 implementation.
The letter came from a group of 15 health-related organizations, including the American Health Information Management Association, America's Health Insurance Plans and the Healthcare Financial Management Association. The letter noted that HHS itself is predicting that further delays could cost the industry as much as $6.6 billion.
As things stand, providers and payers must complete the ICD-9 to ICD-10 transition by October 1, 2015, moving the cutoff back by one year. While the decision pleased some healthcare organizations, others—notably hospitals—said they had been prepared for the earlier deadline and wished it had stayed in place.
