Questions About F80.2Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for mixed receptive-expressive language disorder?

The ICD-10-CM code for mixed receptive-expressive language disorder is F80.2 (sometimes written as F802). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Is F80.2 (Specific developmental disorders of speech and language) a billable code?

Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report mixed receptive-expressive language disorder on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

What MS-DRG does F80.2 group to?

When mixed receptive-expressive language disorder is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 886 (behavioral and Developmental Disorders), which carries a relative weight of 1.6455. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.

Can F80.2 be reported with H93.25?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on F80.2 lists "central auditory processing disorder (H93.25)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).

What is the ICD-9 equivalent of F80.2?

Under the General Equivalence Mappings, mixed receptive-expressive language disorder converts to ICD-9-CM 315.32 (recp-expres language dis). The mapping is approximate, so confirm the match fits the documentation.
