How could they--the bureaucrats don't even know what is going on with themselves.
From your link:
"There are 68,000 billing codes under the new ICD-10 system, as opposed to a paltry 13,000 under the current ICD-9. The expansive diagnostic codes, intended to smooth billing processes and assist in population health and cost reduction across the healthcare delivery system"
So just how does this monstrosity "smooth" billing, "assist in population health" and bring "cost reduction"????? It's just Washingtonspeak for dreaming up crap that will have the opposite effect of the stated goal
