Executive function is integral to the ability to communicate, in children and adults. There are specific CPT codes (Common Procedural Terminology, © American Medical Association) for evaluating cognitive abilities:
CPT 97532 (development of cognitive skills to improve attention, memory, problem solving [includes compensatory training]) best addresses the components of executive function, and can be used to describe executive function treatment for children and adults.
For children without a related medical condition or language deficit, but who have executive- function deficits addressed in speech-language treatment, code 315.8 (other specified delays in development) may be the best descriptor. Under ICD-10-CM (effective Oct. 1, 2015), code 315.8 maps to F88 (other disorders of psychological development). Informal descriptors for F88 include “cognitive developmental delay.”
For patients with TBI, ICD-9-CM diagnostic code 799.52 (cognitive communication deficit) is appropriate. Another possibility is 799.55 (frontal lobe and executive function deficit), although SLPs most likely would use 799.52 to capture the executive-function problems as part of the cognitive communication impairment.
Aetna considers “cognitive behavior modification (cognitive rehabilitation)” as experimental and investigational “for the assessment and treatment of ADHD because the peer-reviewed medical literature does not support the use of these procedures/services for this indication.”
For children without a related medical condition, but who present with executive-function impairment and language deficits, 315.32 (mixed receptive-expressive language developmental disorder) may be the most appropriate code to convey a language-related cognitive disorder.

When an Excludes2 note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together. A “code also” note instructs that two codes may be required to fully describe a condition, but this note does not provide sequencing direction. The sequencing depends on the circumstances of the encounter.
A type 2 Excludes note represents 'Not included here'. An Excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition it is excluded from but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together.
The inclusion terms are not necessarily exhaustive. Additional terms found only in the Alphabetic Index may also be assigned to a code. Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology.
