Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder ( ADHD) is a chronic neurobehavioral disorder and often associated with serious areas of impairment and comorbidities over a life span. Physician practice coding professionals are at the forefront to ensure quality ICD-10-CM coded data across a life span for ADHD. In ICD-10-CM, ADHD coding over a life span requires clinical coding expertise across multi-physician specialties including but not limited to psychiatry, pediatrics, internal medicine, and family practice. This article summarizes how complete and accurate ADHD ICD-10-CM coding results in complete and quality coded data for the physician office provider setting.
Due to the high comorbidity associated with ADHD, per outpatient coding guidelines, it is important to code all documented conditions that coexist at the time of the office visit and require or affect patient care, treatment, or management.
The ADHD diagnosis is not established at the time of the initial physician office visit. Therefore, it may take two or more visits before the diagnosis is confirmed or ruled out. ICD-10-CM outpatient coding guidelines specify not to assign a diagnosis code when documented as “rule out,” “working diagnosis,” or other similar terms indicating uncertainty. Instead, the outpatient coding guidelines specify to code the condition (s) to the highest degree of certainty for that encounter/visit, which may require using symptoms, signs, or another reason for the visit.
2 Across a life span, some coexisting conditions with ADHD include conduct disorder, depression, and anxiety, which may occur during both childhood and adulthood life stages.
In addition to the ADHD presentation, DSM-5 further classifies the ADHD severity of the present symptoms as “mild,” “moderate,” or “severe.”
ADHD is a clinical diagnosis based on symptomatology and evidence that the symptoms are interfering with social, academic, or occupational functioning. A comprehensive evaluation is required to diagnose ADHD and consists of a thorough diagnostic interview, information obtained from independent sources such as family members or teachers, diagnostic symptom checklists, standardized behavior rating scales for ADHD, and other types of clinical assessment testing as defined by the clinician.
ADHD was moved to the neurodevelopmental disorders chapter to better reflect how brain development correlates with ADHD. Thus, with the introduction of DSM-5, ADHD is no longer classified as a childhood disorder but as a chronic lifelong disorder.
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a chronic condition that affects millions of children and often continues into adulthood. ADHD includes a combination of persistent problems, such as difficulty sustaining attention, hyperactivity, and impulsive behavior.
It is normal for children to have trouble focusing and behaving at one time or another. However, children with ADHD do not just grow out of these behaviors. The symptoms continue, can be severe, and can cause difficulty at school, at home, or with friends. A child with ADHD might daydream a lot, forget or lose things a lot, squirm, fidget, talk too much, make careless mistakes or take unnecessary risks, have a hard time resisting temptation, have trouble taking turns, and have difficulty getting along with others.
However, some people never completely outgrow their ADHD symptoms. But they can learn strategies to be successful. While treatment won’t cure ADHD, it can help a great deal with symptoms. Treatment typically involves medications and behavioral interventions. Early diagnosis and treatment can make a big difference in the outcome.
