ICD-10 Delay Not Included in Current Proposed ‘Cromnibus’ Spending Bill

While ICD-10 advocates welcomed the news, the Coalition for ICD-10 has cautioned supporters of the October 1, 2015 implementation date that it is still possible for legislators in either the House or Senate to insert an amendment that delays ICD-10 before it is voted on this week. Therefore, the Coalition, which includes AHIMA and other healthcare stakeholders, is continuing its advocacy efforts to ensure no delay language is included in the bill.
