What This Code Means

F89 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for unspecified disorder of psychological development. A disorder of psychological development that cannot be more specifically identified or classified. F89 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for mental, behavioral and neurodevelopmental disorders (f01-f99), within the section covering pervasive and specific developmental disorders (f80-f89).

F89 is a billable ICD-10-CM code, but no current CMS-HCC V28 community payment mapping is shown, and none under the ESRD, Part D RxHCC, or HHS-HCC models. Do not assign risk adjustment value from this page when no source-backed mapping is shown; verify the applicable model and payment year.

This is the most nonspecific code for developmental disorders; use only when no other F80-F88 code applies.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for F89 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
