ICD-10 Advocacy

On April 1, 2014 President Obama signed H.R. 4302, the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014. As you know, Section 212 of the bill delayed ICD-10-CM/PCS implementation until at least October 1, 2015.

To ensure that Congress does not pass another legislative delay, we need you to continue advocating for the implementation of ICD-10-CM/PCS. Please consider the following action items:

1. Write your Members of Congress by using this link:

2. View AHIMA’s “ICD-10: A Legislative Review” webinar and share the information with our colleagues.

Let your elected officials know that AHIMA, along with its coalition partners, supports ICD-10.

Thank you for your time, and advocacy efforts.
