“Information from this survey will be used to inform WEDI, CMS, and other organizations of the progress of ICD-10 implementation and to plan necessary programs and actions to assist the industry in meeting the Oct 1, 2014 compliance date,” according to WEDI officials. “We are asking impacted organizations (vendors, health plans, and healthcare providers) to complete this survey to assure a wide variety of responses and an accurate picture of industry progress.”
