CMS Names Rogers ICD-10 Ombudsman

Anyone who has participated in a CMS open door forum is familiar with the name William Rogers, MD, a surgeon who has also served as a medical officer with the agency for several years. That familiarity can help you going forward, now that Rogers has been named the ICD-10 ombudsman, CMS Administrator Andy Slavitt announced during an Aug. 27 MLN provider call. You’ll be able to reach Rogers with any ICD-10 issues at ICD10_ombudsman@cms.hhs.gov.
