Could Congress delay ICD-10 again next week? | Government Health IT
December 01, 2014 | Carl Natale, Editor, ICD10Watch
The ICD-10 opposition, in fact, advocated slipping a two-year delay into a piece of must-pass legislation during this lame duck session of Congress.
That legislation may be the fiscal year 2015 Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations Bill. (Hat tip to Mary Butler for pointing out this funding bill in the Journal of AHIMA.)
The proposed bill, in limbo since the summer because it contains partisan provisions, would fund several healthcare programs next year.
Now, it's not exactly the slam dunk to pass that the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014 (PAMA) was; that’s the bill that pushed off any real action on the Sustainable Growth Rate and carried a provision prohibiting HHS to mandate ICD-10 compliance prior to October 1, 2015.
