Survey: Half of Healthcare Professionals Wanted an ICD-10 Delay

Additionally, 58 percent of respondents told the medical software vendor they were “highly concerned” about the possible effects of the transition, with claims processing being the area of most worry.

The responses almost mirrored those from a similar NueMD survey conducted in 2012, in which 56 percent of professionals said they wanted either an ICD-10 delay or wanted to skip the transition entirely.
