Will all other payors be required to transition over to ICD-10 by October 1, 2013 as well? Also, are they allowed to start using ICD-10 prior to the effective date?
No you cannot use ICD-10 prior to October 13, 2013. All insurance carriers are to use ICD-10 also except workers comp and auto. Those are the only two that I know of that are not required to use ICD-10.
