With insurances already impossible to contact by phone, I am glad for the delay. I forecasted this could be a didaster on top of aca. www.opticalconsultants.net

Although ICD 10 will be a though, it will reduce healthcare costs over by essentially creating a treatment and diagnosis data set, its been used by other countries and the Mayo Clinic to better and faster analyze the effectiveness of care.
As well, how is the ACA a disaster? Practices here have had huge spike in revenue since January, many with their best ever 3 months.
We had our best February ever in spite of being closed 2 1/2 days for bad weather. I couldn't tell you why. I like to think people like us. I sincerely doubt ICD 10 will save any appreciable amount of money. It will certainly cost practitioners more as they sit there and whittle down to the final diagnosis.
What i said was it was about to be a disasterous combination. Many insurance companies have hold times of three hours when checking on a claim. They are running at max capacity...then tripple billing codes and number of insured and you have a delayed payments and virtually no customer service. ACA is a disaster for completly unrelated reasons, but not necessarily for us.
