ICD-10 Code F90.9 Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Unspecified Type

A women disturb from the attention by useing the laptop give the expression of disorder treat with code f90.

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.
