Is another ICD-10 delay inevitable? - FierceHealthIT
December 2, 2014 | By Dan Bowman
When it comes to ICD-10, a feeling of déjà vu is beginning to creep over me. Not only are interest groups both for and against the implementation out in full force, apparently another delay could be attached to a "must-pass" $157 billion spending bill for the departments of Labor, Education and Health and Human Services that expires next week.
Implementation, of course, was delayed in a similar fashion just eight months ago, when a provision was attached to a 12-month patch to the sustainable growth rate payment formula that prevented deep Medicare payment cuts to providers. That bill overwhelmingly passed through Congress before being immediately signed by President Obama.
