The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has confirmed in a final
rule that October 1, 2015, will be the
compliance deadline for the implementation of ICD-10. The final rule requires
the continued use of ICD-9 through
September 30, 2015.
AmeriHealth is reassessing our external testing schedule, which will resume
toward the end of 2014. We continue to ensure
that our organization is fully compliant and ready to meet the new compliance
date for ICD-10.
Stay tuned
More information will be available in the coming months regarding our
external testing schedule. As was the case
before, AmeriHealth will test with our pre-established testing partners and
share our successes and
challenges with our provider network .
We encourage you to keep up with the latest news and information regarding
the implementation of ICD-10. Look for
more details about testing and the availability of additional resources in
Partners in Health UpdateSM later this year. You
can also find provider resources at the ICD-10 section of our website.
