The acting head of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services on Tuesday said that the agency would extend the timeline on ICD-10 implementation, Modern Healthcare reported.

After speaking at the American Medical Association Advocacy Conference in Washington, acting CMS Administrator Marilyn Tavenner told reporters that CMS will "re-examine the timeframe" through a rulemaking process. Tavenner did not say when that rulemaking process will begin but said the CMS would send details about the process in the coming days, according to Modern Healthcare.
