I guess getting the one-year delay in ICD-10 wasn't good enough for the AMA. Now they are considering pushing to bypass ICD-10 altogether and press for adoption of ICD-11 in 2015. As my seven-year-old niece loves to say - SERIOUSLY??

I've been hearing about ICD-10 since I was a HIT student in 1995! Based on this, one can only surmise that it will take several years to implement ICD-11. We're already 10 years behind the rest of the world with ICD-10. I think that the AMA is just stalling in their efforts to block the change to ICD-10. Heaven forbid we inconvenience any doctors!
 
For certain!? When did CMS make a decision on the extension? If we go to ICD-11, at least we will be current with the rest of the world.

Wonder how different 11 is from 10????:rolleyes:
