ICD10 code of Learning Disability and ICD9 code
What is the ICD10 code for Learning Disability? And the ICD9 code for Learning Disability?
ICD-10 code for Learning Disability: F81
ICD-9 code for Learning Disability: 315
In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), learning disabilities are classified under the broader category of "Specific Developmental Disorders" (F80-F89). Specifically, learning disabilities are coded as "Specific Developmental Disorders of Scholastic Skills" (F81).
ICD-10 code F81 encompasses various specific learning disabilities, including dyslexia (difficulty with reading and writing), dyscalculia (difficulty with mathematical skills), and specific developmental disorders of speech and language. It is important to note that the ICD-10 code F81 does not provide further subcategories for specific types of learning disabilities.
In the previous version, ICD-9, learning disabilities were categorized under "Other Disorders of Nervous System and Sense Organs" (codes 315-319). However, ICD-9 did not have specific codes dedicated to learning disabilities. Instead, it included broader categories such as "Specific Delays in Development," "Specific Reading Disorder," and "Specific Disorder of Arithmetic Skills."
It is worth mentioning that the ICD coding system is regularly updated to reflect advancements in medical knowledge and terminology. The transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 allowed for more detailed and specific classification of various conditions, including learning disabilities, facilitating better understanding, diagnosis, and treatment planning.
