Dear ACDIS members,

I want to remind you that comments to CMS on the FY 2011 IPPS proposed rule are due in by Friday, June 18, no later than 5 p.m. ET. The ACDIS advisory board plans to issue three comments to CMS on the following subjects:
  • Proposed FY 2011 MS–DRG Documentation and Coding Adjustment (p. 23872)
  • Proposed Change to the Severity Level for Acute Renal Failure, Unspecified Diagnosis Code (p. 23907)
  • Changes to the ICD–9–CM Coding System, Including Discussion of the Replacement of the ICD–9–CM System With the ICD–10–CM and ICD–10–PCS Systems in FY 2014; Code Freeze (p. 23912)
Commenting on the rule is easy and may be done electronically at the Regulations.gov website. Click here to submit a comment  The ACDIS advisory board encourages all members to comment and CMS welcomes comments from individuals as well as associations and groups.
 
You can read the FY 2011 IPPS proposed rule here: http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/pdf/2010-9163.pdf.
