HHS secretary announces delay of ICD-10 compliance date
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen G. Sebelius last week announced that her agency will postpone the date that certain health care entities must comply with International Classification of Diseases, 10th Edition diagnosis and procedure codes (ICD-10). The final rule adopting ICD-10 as a standard was published in January 2009 and set a compliance date of Oct. 1, 2013. HHS has not yet announced a new compliance date.
