CMS today released a proposed rule that would delay implementation of the ICD-10 code set until Oct. 1, 2014.
That puts the new compliance date exactly one year from the previous date.
The announcement is part of a larger rule which establishes new standards for electronic transactions under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
