Just a quick tip an irritated Neurologist once suggested to me, keep a binder with the following:
You should call your child's health care provider if any of the following occur:
ICD-10 code R62. 7 for Adult failure to thrive is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
315.9 - Unspecified delay in development. ICD-10-CM.

CMS will continue to maintain the ICD-9 code website with the posted files. These are the codes providers (physicians, hospitals, etc.) and suppliers must use when submitting claims to Medicare for payment.
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.
ICD-10 code: F88 Other disorders of psychological development.
E43Coding professionals would use ICD-10-CM code E43 to report severe malnutrition, also known as starvation edema. They would use ICD-10-CM code E42 to report severe protein-calorie malnutrition with signs of both kwashiorkor and marasmus.
Malnutrition ICD-10-CM Code range E40-E46.

The current ICD used in the United States, the ICD-9, is based on a version that was first discussed in 1975. The United States adapted the ICD-9 as the ICD-9-Clinical Modification or ICD-9-CM. The ICD-9-CM contains more than 15,000 codes for diseases and disorders. The ICD-9-CM is used by government agencies.
Clinical trials require specific information on comorbid conditions, adverse events, and past medical, surgical, and social histories. Another reason to convert is the inability of ICD-9-CM to support the U.S. initiative to transition to a health data exchange.
ICD9Data.com takes the current ICD-9-CM and HCPCS medical billing codes and adds 5.3+ million links between them. Combine that with a Google-powered search engine, drill-down navigation system and instant coding notes and it's easier than ever to quickly find the medical coding information you need.
783.41 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of failure to thrive. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
The following crosswalk between ICD-9 to ICD-10 is based based on the General Equivalence Mappings (GEMS) information:
The Medicare Code Editor (MCE) detects and reports errors in the coding of claims data. The following ICD-9 Code Edits are applicable to this code:
Does your child seem much shorter - or much taller - than other kids his or her age? It could be normal. Some children may be small for their age but still be developing normally. Some children are short or tall because their parents are.
General Equivalence Map Definitions The ICD-9 and ICD-10 GEMs are used to facilitate linking between the diagnosis codes in ICD-9-CM and the new ICD-10-CM code set. The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
