Has anyone sen anything official about delaying ICD-10

Rumor has it that CMS announed they are indefinately delaying ICD-10 implementation. I cannot find anything official regarding this. Has anyone heard this or seen apress release? Thanks.

Not to my knowledge but the source is probably AMA: The AMA recently asked Congress and the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services to stop implementation of ICD-10.

According to Part B news a decision should be made in a few days. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

What article or new release in Part B are you referring to that says a decision regarding delaying ICD10 will be made in the next few days?

Thanks,

I received this messages yesterday off another site:

From MGMA Payer contracting list: FRESH OFF THE PRESS:

The acting head of the CMS on Tuesday signaled that the agency will extend the timeline on ICD-10 implementation.

After speaking to attendees at the American Medical Association Advocacy Conference in Washington, acting CMS Administrator Marilyn Tavenner told reporters that the CMS will "re-examine the timeframe" through a rulemaking process. She did not say when that rulemaking process will begin but said the CMS would send details about the process in the coming days.

"There's concern that folks cannot get their work done around meaningful use, their work around ICD-10 implementation and be ready for exchanges," Tavenner said. "So we're trying to listen to that and be responsive."

Separately, Tavenner said she the CMS has had "good results" with accountable care organization applications and expects to make an announcement about selected applicants "at the beginning of the second quarter of this year."
