Ask representatives and senators in Congress to take the ICD-10 provision out of the SGR bill

CMS estimates that a one year delay could cost between $1 billion and $6.6 billihow This is 10-30% of what has already been invested by providers, payers, vendors and academic programs in your district. Without ICD-10, the return on investment in EHRs and health data exchange will be greatly diminished. Let Speaker Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Reid know that a delay in ICD-10 will substantially increase total implementation costs in your district as well as delay the positive impact for patient care. Thank you for your assistance with this critical issue. We cannot relay enough how important it is to sign this petition TODAY!
