Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: To be prepared for the transition to ICD-10, computers and systems will have to be upgraded. The cost of upgrading per institution or health care provider office may be prohibitive and there will be systems that will not be able to absorb the increase in the budget.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: On October 1, 2013, the federal government will implement the mandatory transition to the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10).
