ICD-10 Code F90.9 Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Unspecified Type Call Us Leave a Message What is ICD-10 Code F90.9? ICD-10 Code F90.9 is a billable code used to classify and reimburse healthcare services related to Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), unspecified. This code is applied when a patient demonstrates ADHD symptoms but lacks sufficient information to determine a specific subtype, such as predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive-impulsive, or combined types. It is important to ensure accurate reimbursement and support comprehensive care plans. What is ADHD, Unspecified Type? ADHD is a neuron developmental disorder that typically originates in childhood. The unspecified type is characterized by symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that significantly affect a patient’s daily life but do not align with specific ADHD subtypes. Core symptoms include Difficulty sustaining attention or completing tasks. Impulsiveness and acting without thinking. Restlessness or constant motion. Guidelines for ICD-10 Code F90.9 This code should be used when: ADHD is diagnosed, but the medical record lacks sufficient detail to classify it into a subtype. Symptoms have persisted for at least six months and cause impairment in social, academic, or occupational settings. Common ADHD ICD-10 Codes F90.0: ADHD, predominantly inattentive type. F90.1: ADHD, predominantly hyperactive-impulsive type. F90.2: ADHD, combined type. Each code provides detailed specificity to aid in effective diagnosis and treatment planning. Common Drawbacks in Using Code F90.9 Healthcare providers should avoid the following mistakes when coding: Using F90.9 without sufficient justification: If documentation can classify the condition into a subtype, opt for F90.0, F90.1, or F90.2. Inadequate documentation: Ensure all symptoms, durations, and impacts on daily life are recorded to avoid claim denials. Failure to capture associated conditions: Providers should note co-occurring issues like developmental delays or speech disorders when applicable.
