Hello,

Does anyone know if workers comp and automobile accident carriers will be all required to accept icd10 starting October 1?

Thank you!

Conversion to ICD-10 CM on Oct 1, 2015 is a HIPAA mandate and applies only to HIPAA regulated payers and providers. Auto and Work Comp are non-HIPAA entities and therefore are not required to switch to the new code set.
