"Much of the discussion centered on H.R. 4157, federal legislation which includes a requirement for the healthcare industry to switch from its current billing code system, known as ICD-9, to a more precise code known as ICD-10 by Oct. 1, 2009." OTOH, the VA (as part of the Federal Govt.) is immune from many of the laws to which the rest of us must submit. So this may not be relevant to the question.
