Questions About F89Overview

Is F89 (Unspecified disorder of psychological development) a billable code?

Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report unspecified disorder of psychological development on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.

What is the ICD-9 equivalent of F89?

Under the General Equivalence Mappings, unspecified disorder of psychological development converts to ICD-9-CM 315.9 (development delay NOS). The mapping is approximate, so confirm the match fits the documentation.

Footnotes

[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
