They may drag their feet long enough to skip ICD-10 and move to the new ICD-11. ICD-11 is under development and it could create codes longer that ICD-10 that could create some more problems..I mean opportunities.

It's official: the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has announced it will delay implementation of the ICD-10 diagnostic code set beyond Oct. 1, 2013. But today's announcement did not specify for how long ICD-10's starting date would be postponed. The statement said that HHS would "initiate a process to postpone the date by which certain health care entities have to comply with [ICD-10]." That seems to refer to a rulemaking process that includes solicitation of public comments and leads to a final rule. Industry analysts speculated that the deadline might be put off for a year or two, according to Healthcare IT News.
