As a reminder, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has
confirmed in a final rule that October 1, 2015, will be the compliance deadline
for the implementation of ICD-10. The final rule requires the continued use of
ICD-9 through September 30, 2015.
External testing
AmeriHealth is currently in the process of reassessing and communicating our
external testing plan and schedule. In the coming months, we will resume
testing with our pre-established testing partners and share our successes and
challenges with our provider network.

Detailed information about ICD-10 and the road to compliance will continue
