ADD without mention of hyperactivity is coded as F98.8.
If ADD is documented with mention of hyperactivity we have been using F90.0, Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, predominantly inattentive type. If ADD is documented without mention of hyperactivity we use F98.8. We have not had problems with denials.
In addition, the 2016 book does include the indicator that F98.8 is a pediatric only code; however this has been removed in 2017. Again, I'm guessing it is because the code descriptor for F98.8 states the condition "usually originates in childhood or adolescents," not that the patient is be a child/adolescent.
The F98.8 states onset occurring in childhood not thatbit cannot be used for an adult. You may need to appeal with documentation. But you cannot assign F90.0 without the documentation to support it.
well now I am confused. F98.8 has a P on it. In the guidelines you can only use those codes noted with a "P" for pediatrics 0-17 yrs of age. The index takes you to F98.8 without mention of Hyperactivity but I thought the "P" superseded it and have used F90.0, but the tabular guidelines says you may use F98 regardless of age so F98.8 would be the correct code? maybe payers are denying because of the "P". You may want to point out that guideline at the top of the F90 category. I may need to research this based upon payer. thanks for posting.

Specific diagnostic codes should ONLY be used when there is enough evidence to support the documentation of the patient’s health condition. There are various instances when the documentation is insufficient and the use ...
The correct code would then be R1010 – Upper abdominal pain, unspecified
Although these two terms are used interchangeably, the theoretical difference is present. Documentation may be very specific in case of “other specified” unlike “unspecified ” where enough documentation is not available.
Assigning a specific code when sufficient information is not present in the medical record documentation or conducting unnecessary medical tests in order to settle on a specific code can result in claim denials.
The physician treating the patient should be able to identify whether the disease is of acute or chronic nature. For e.g. if he uses the code J9690 – Respiratory failure, unspecified. It doesn’t really fit in, because being a physician he should be able to document the nature of the disease.
Payers reaction to unspecified codes. Like ICD-9, unspecified codes are available in ICD-10 as well; however, they are not there to cater to practices laziness. Choosing unspecified codes when more accurate codes can be coded can lead to payers rejecting the claim.
Although specific codes are preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition.
