Intellectual Disabilities ICD-10-CM Code range F70-F79.
F79 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM F79 became effective on October 1, 2021.
The following ICD-10-CA codes were used to select and exclude ID cases: F70 = Mild mental retardation. F71 = Moderate mental retardation. F72 = Severe mental retardation.

ICD-10 code R41. 83 for Borderline intellectual functioning is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
Unspecified intellectual disability is a diagnosis reserved for children over 5 years of age who could not be assessed due to multiple factors, such as a physical disability or co-occurring mental illness. These two diagnoses require reassessment at a later date (1).
Mild intellectual disability (previously known as mild mental retardation) refers to deficits in intellectual functions pertaining to abstract/theoretical thinking. Mild intellectual disability occurs in approximately 1.5 percent of the population.
An individual is diagnosed with mild mental retardation if they have an IQ score of 50-69,6 and the majority of cases fall within this category. Individuals with mild mental retardation typically develop social and communication skills adequate for self support, but may need assistance during times of unusual stress.
Now, DSM-5 has further stripped the definition of borderline intellectual functioning. The V-code is listed in 'Other Conditions That May Be a Focus of Clinical Attention', under 'Other Circumstances of Personal History'. It ceases to provide any description of what borderline intellectual functioning entails.
What is cognitive impairment? Cognitive impairment is when a person has trouble remembering, learning new things, concentrating, or making decisions that affect their everyday life.

ICD-10 code R62. 50 for Unspecified lack of expected normal physiological development in childhood is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
Unspecified lack of expected normal physiological development in childhood. R62. 50 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM R62.
A diagnosis of global developmental delay (GDD) means that a child has not reached two or more milestones in all of the five areas of development: Cognitive – relating to a child's ability to learn and solve problems.
In case ADHD is suspected but not yet diagnosed, symptoms such as attention and concentration deficit (R41. 840) should be reported. If signs and symptoms of ADHD are absent, screening for ADHD can be reported using code Z13. 4, encounter for screening for certain developmental disorders in childhood.
Intellectual disability (ID), also called intellectual development disorder (IDD) or general learning disability, and formerly known as mental retardation (MR), is a generalized neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by significantly impaired intellectual and adaptive functioning. It is defined by an IQ score below 70 in addition to deficits in two or more adaptive behaviors that affect everyday, general living. Once focused almost entirely on cognition, the definition now includes both a component relating to mental functioning and one relating to individuals' functional skills in their environments. As a result of this focus on the person's abilities in practice, a person with an unusually low IQ may not be considered intellectually disabled. Intellectual disability is subdivided into syndromic intellectual disability, in which intellectual deficits associated with other medical and behavioral signs and symptoms are present, and non-syndromic intellectual disability, in which intellectual deficits appear without other abnormalities. Down syndrome and fragile X syndrome are examples of syndromic intellectual disabilities.
Intellectual disability is subdivided into syndromic intellectual disability, in which intellectual deficits associated with other medical and behavioral signs and symptoms are present, and non-syndromic intellectual disability, in which intellectual deficits appear without other abnormalities.
F71 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of moderate intellectual disabilities. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
