    AbstractThe AMA continues to harbor serious concerns and reservations with the significant burden of the ICD-10 mandate and continues to convey these points to policymakers in Washington. The AMA is well aware of the concerns of physicians related to the growing number of burdens being placed on their practices, of which ICD-10 is a large one, and continues to advocate for overall regulatory relief. While the AMA has been working for many years to hold back the implementation of ICD-10, at this time, it does remain a regulatory mandate. Because of this, it is important that physicians prepare for its implementation in order to avoid the rejection of claims and cash flow interruptions.
