HHS proposes one-year delay of ICD-10 compliance date
On April 17, 2012 the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)published a proposed rule that would delay, from Oct. 1, 2013 to Oct. 1, 2014, the compliance date for the International Classification of Diseases, 10th edition diagnosis and procedure codes (ICD-10).
The ICD-10 compliance date change is part of a proposed rule that would adopt a standard for a unique health plan identifier, adopt a data element that would serve as an other entity identifier and add a national provider identifier requirement. The proposed rule was developed by the Office of e-Health Standards and Services (OESS) as part of its ongoing role, delegated by HHS, to establish standards for electronic health care transactions under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. OESS is part of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
HHS proposes that covered entities must be in compliance with ICD-10 on Oct. 1, 2014.
