The passing of Oct. 1, 2008 marks the industry's official transition to MS-DRGs, and this blog's two-year anniversary of chronicling the development and implementation of the new reimbursement system. Ingenix is proud to have sponsored the SDRG Report blog during this time, and we'd like to thank our loyal readers who have frequently visited our site to stay up to date with the latest MS-DRG developments.

As the industry is well along in its journey to adopt MS-DRGs, Ingenix has made the decision to discontinue the SDRG Report so that it can focus on other issues that pose challenges for the industry. One of these new challenges is the industry’s transition to ICD-10. To address this issue, Ingenix has developed ICD-10 Prepared to provide the news, resources and tools that organizations will need in their adoption of the new reimbursement system. We hope that you will visit ICD-10 Prepared. As this will be the last post on the SDRG Report blog, we wanted to take the opportunity to highlight some of the issues that have taken place during the past two years.
