Hospital CFOs: No More ICD-10 Delays
Nov. 18—Despite continued calls by some physician advocates to further delay or discarding the switchover to a new healthcare code set, the largest national advocacy group for hospital CFOs joined numerous groups in urging Congress to allow it to go forward.
The Healthcare Financial Management Association and a coalition of healthcare IT and insurer advocacy groups and device manufacturers wrote leaders of Congress on Nov. 12 to urge them to allow a long-delayed switch to ICD-10 to proceed on Oct. 1, 2015. Congress implemented a one-year delay in healthcare entities’ compliance with the switchover to the new procedure order codes after a previous one-year delay by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) was set to expire.
