[DecisonHealth's Laura Evans reports from AHIMA's 2012 ICD-10 Summit in Baltimore:] Pat Brooks of CMS says, bottom line, CMS will extend the partial freeze until implementation of ICD-10. If you have new technology or new diseases, CMS would love to hear about them, but you can expect the ICD-10 partial freeze to continue through Oct 1, 2015.
