We strongly encourage you to attend this panel discussion on the new ICD-10 regulations coming imminently to doctors and physicians throughout healthcare. Sponsored by The Heritage Foundation, a long-time BRI ally and partner in the fight to preserve the doctor-patient relationship, the panel features Dr. Robert Moffit, a favorite speaker in BRI’s Speakers Bureau, and BRI’s very own student leader and past Heritage Foundation Intern, John Grimsley (BRI-Georgetown), who has contributed enormously to this discussion, and others.
On October 1, 2015, a new standardized system of classifying disease, the ICD-10, will be imposed on practicing physicians and others in the health care sector. Since the 1980s, the U.S. has conflated the disparate goals of research and reimbursement by linking the ICD codes to payments for health care. This unwise policy will be compounded by replacing the current ICD-9 with the newer and vastly more complex ICD-10. Adoption of the ICD-10 comes with significant costs and trade-offs. This unfunded mandate not only perpetuates a misguided policy decision that confuses the disparate goals of research and reimbursement, but also adds significant financial and administrative burdens on physicians and other health care providers.
Join us as our panelists discuss their research and insight on this critical issue.
