ICD 10 delay?

I'm curious, Our director e-mailed us last week and said ICD-10 implementation is postponed for 3 years. We haven't gotten any information in any of our subspription confirming a 3 year postonement. We checked with a coding manager and she said last she heard it was postponed for 1 year.

Anyone know?

    New ICD-10 implementation date expected in April
    ICD-10 Trainer | March 21, 2012
    CMS plans to announce a new ICD-10 implementation date sometime in April, according to representatives of CMS and MassHealth, a public health insurance program for low and medium-income residents in Massachusetts.
    Renee Washington, director of customer system integration at MassHealth, revealed the time frame for the much anticipated announcement during the Massachusetts Health Data Consortium’s March 9 conference call.

    Which should mean they will publish it in the Federal Register and take public comment for 60 days. Then they will consider the feedback and issue a final rule.

  • That is correct. There has been no official word since the first CMS press release. http://www.hcpro.com/acdis/details.cfm?topic=WS_ACD_STG&content_id=278291
    Although some form of "rule making" announcement may be published in April.
