Physician Groups Push for Two-Year ICD-10 Delay on Capitol Hill | Journal of AHIMA

A select group of physicians and physician groups have begun advocating for an additional two-year delay to the implementation of ICD-10-CM/PCS. In response, AHIMA and the Coalition for ICD-10 have launched its own advocacy efforts to keep the ICD-10 implementation date at October 1, 2015.



Last week a letter was circulated to members of Congress—addressed to Speaker of the House Representative John Boehner (R-OH)—requesting the implementation date be pushed back to 2017.



Additionally, the Texas branch of the American Medical Association (TMA) is advocating for the same two-year delay through its Legislative Action Center.
