ICD-10 codes for Autism Spectrum Disorder

The primary ICD-10-CM codes for autism spectrum disorder are F84, F84.0, F84.5. Across all sub-categories, 7 codes are grouped under autism spectrum disorder, with 6 marked as billable (specific enough for a medical claim).

There are 7 ICD-10-CM codes related to autism spectrum disorder. Of these, 6 are billable specific codes and 1 are non-billable header categories that organize the specific codes underneath them. Header codes cannot be reported on a claim by themselves.

Yes. 6 of the 7 ICD-10-CM codes for autism spectrum disorder are billable. Common examples include F84.0 (Autistic disorder); F84.2 (Rett's syndrome); F84.3 (Other childhood disintegrative disorder). Code to the highest level of specificity supported by the documentation.

The most commonly used billable codes for autism spectrum disorder include: F84.0 (Autistic disorder); F84.2 (Rett's syndrome); F84.3 (Other childhood disintegrative disorder). The correct code depends on the documented clinical presentation, including any complications, episode (acute / chronic), and laterality where applicable. Always code to the highest level of specificity supported by the clinical documentation.

No, F84 (Pervasive developmental disorders) is a non-billable header code. You need to use a more specific child code for billing purposes.

The ICD-10 codes for autism spectrum disorder map to at least 25 SNOMED CT concepts. Examples of SNOMED CT concept IDs in this group include 1217382002, 1260195002, 129602009, 191687005, 191689008. SNOMED CT is a clinical terminology used in electronic health records; AutoICD's coding API returns SNOMED CT IDs alongside each ICD-10 code via the include_snomed=true flag.

The ICD-10 codes for autism spectrum disorder are linked to 15 UMLS CUIs in the National Library of Medicine's Metathesaurus. Sample CUIs include C0524528, C0004352, C1510586, C2603372, C0035372. UMLS CUIs unify the same concept across SNOMED CT, ICD-10, ICD-11, RxNorm, MeSH, and dozens of other source vocabularies.

Autism Spectrum Disorder may also be referred to as: autism, autism spectrum disorder, ASD, Asperger syndrome, pervasive developmental disorder. The same ICD-10-CM codes apply regardless of which term appears in the clinical documentation. Synonyms are surfaced by AutoICD's NER pass and mapped to the canonical ICD-10 family above.
