Yes the expansion was to 140,000 codes. All part of the vast left-wing conspiracy if you ask me. Just another way that Barry was going to ‘ensure quality’ while not paying doctors for what we do. I had heard implementation was being delayed or at least the delay was being debated, with cost to the physician’s office cited as one of the top concerns. Hey, if Barry wants to spread some of his wealth around (maybe about $85K) I’ll try ICD-10.
Well darn it…you didn’t post that reference to the WSJ article in your orignal post. (Nice try though)
Nonetheless, you’d just take any info prima facie and not check it for yourself? That’s scary, Dr. Dug
Holy cow! Glad you’re not my doctor!
You’re welcome.
BTW…Buy MySpace stock…it’s gonna soar!
Obviosuly you won’t allow this comment without some other excuse for your gross error, eh?
Are you sure there are 140,000 diagnosis codes in ICD-10CM? Check again please.
