Billing Codes for Applied Behavior Analysis. In July 2020, we adopted new Current Procedural Terminology (CPT ®) billing codes proposed by the American Medical Association for Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) treatment. Below is a list of revised billing codes that Evernorth uses for autism services. It explains how the codes should be used, what provider type can provide the given service, and who can bill for the given service.

The ICD-10-CM classification system refers to “Sensory integration disorder” as an “Approximate Synonym” under the F88 code: a billable/specific code that could be utilized to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
A study (Tomchek & Dunn, 2007) found that 95% of the sample of autistic children displayed some degree of sensory dysfunction. Parents and many occupational therapists agree that almost all kids on the spectrum process sensory stimuli differently to neurotypical peers.
Such experts may refer to the F82 and F88 billable codes in the ICD-10-CM; these codes may specify diagnoses encompassing symptoms of sensory processing and integration disorders.
This may be the reason some doctors and occupational therapists recommend using other ICD codes to identify the components of sensory processing disorder most applicable to your child instead of vague “other condition” type codes.
In this case the ICD-10-CM code F82 (Specific developmental disorder of motor function) may be appropriate.
For example the Hyperesthesia code (R20.3, ICD-10-CM) may be applicable if your child experiences atypical or increased sensitivity to stimulation. Many children on the spectrum benefit from occupational therapy for tactile hypersensitivity, if this specific symptom requires invention your occupational therapist will be able to assist with the applicable ICD code.
It is important to take note, however, that the new version of the ICD was released on June 18, 2018. It will become the official classification system used by member states commencing January 2022.
