ICD-10 delay

Just some random thoughts on the delay.  The delay simply came down to money and politics.  In a nutshell you have the plans who were all set to go live vs. the practices who were still struggling to be able to do the conversion.  ICD-10 while it provides greater clarity in diagnosis' its the new additional ,codes that don't match up that's causing angst. For small mom and pop shops this would mean loss of revenue.  I think enough of them reached out to congress and got enough folks on their side.

Just my 2 cents
