ICD-10 DELAY coming.. just like I said it would
Michele:
If nothing else ICD10 is giving us a some good laughs. I wonder if they have a dx for encounter with an octopus?

Thing is they were not going to be ready. We all would have, but carriers and Medicare wouldn't. Most carriers only rely on computerized data and edits and don't even train for new coding guidelines. So better to delay it than us all be compliant and ready and the payors won't be :o ::)
RichardP:
Linda, in the link you gave, there is this statement:
*as of 3/28, ICD-10 deadline has been pushed back to sometime in late 2015!
Is that just wishful thinking on their part, or do we have confirmation that the delay is official?
And, for Michele, just in case she needs to know this - my post about the squirrel was a joke. The ICD-10 Code and definition is correct. But the rest isn't.
DMK:
HILARIOUS!!!! I thought there were some funny ICD-9 codes! I just spoke with a mucky muck from Blue Shield the other day and they haven't even BEGUN to train for ICD-10. The new HCFA was enough. And XP. And...And...
Michele:
Richard,
I knew that but it certainly was funny. I like the 'GNAW' modifier. ;D
