When I graduated from chiropractic college in 1981 and started practice, I heard it all, and very little was positive. “You are a quack; you do not know what a subluxation is; you couldn’t get into a real health care program, so you chose the one that is slightly above a mail-order degree; you have no proof that chiropractic works; Are you really licensed?”, and so much more.
| Digital ExclusiveHHS Announces Delay in ICD-10 Implementation
Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen G. Sebelius has announced a postponement for the implementation of ICD-10. The delay comes as the result of feedback from the American Medical Association, the American Hospital Association and the provider community. Each expressed concerns about the challenges and administrative burdens implementation will place on providers.
Marilyn Tavenner, acting CMS administrator, states that CMS will be re-examining the pace of ICD-10 implementation. The revised deadline date should be announced soon.
Although the deadline is postponed, it's important to prepare for this transition. ACA has a Web page dedicated to ICD-10. Please check this page frequently for important updates.
