Oklahoma Senator files bill to stop the switch

Sen. Tom Coburn (Oklahoma) has introduced in the U.S. Senate a version of the Cutting Costly Codes Act of 2013.  This bill would block HHS from implementing the ICD-10-CM on October 1, 2014.  This action follows the filing of a similar bill in the U.S. House by a Texas congressman. 

Many of Dr. Coburn's physician colleagues in the U.S. Senate have signed on as co-sponsors of the bill.

They are correct. We should stop the switch.
