The concerns over the deadline of the ICD-10 coding classification transition switched over to concerns over the delay of the deadline in the past few months.

The debate surrounding an ICD-10 delay continues after the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) indicated its intention to push the deadline back one year to Oct 1., 2014.

In the spirit of all procrastinators, we can all relate to postponing undesired tasks. However, many are feeling that delaying the ICD-10 coding classification transition (which previously had an already pushed-back due date of October 2013) may be too much procrastination.

Even though we finally have a new ICD-10 implementation deadline, will just an extra 12 months really make a difference?
