EXCLUSIVE SURVEY: Most Docs Want Another Delay to ICD-10

Doctors are not backing down in their distaste for the ICD-10. Many are looking for an additional delay, according to an exclusive survey designed by the editors of Healthcare Informatics and conducted by QuantiaMD, a Waltham, Mass.-based social network for physicians.

One year ago, the healthcare industry was coming to grips with the fact that another delay to ICD-10 was going to happen. This year, with a repeal of Medicare’s Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) formula on the horizon and reports that a provision to delay ICD-10 was actively denied by Congressional leaders, it appears the transition to the updated code-set may actually happen this.
