	ICD-10 Rumors
	We would like to point out that there is a rumor that ICD-10 will be put into place in January 2011. Practices should start speaking with computer vendors about expanding the ICD-9 table files to accommodate a seven digit ICD-10 files. They estimate that change will be equivalent to the 2000 date change in expense to practices.

	Just a reminder that on October 1, 2009 the next round of quarterly updates to the coding initiatives (CCI Edits) become effective. Please visit the CMS Website for details.
