Central auditory processing disorder

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

A condition where the ears receive sound normally but the brain has difficulty processing and understanding what is heard, affecting speech and language development.

Coding Tips

  • •This code is for processing deficits, not hearing loss; audiometric testing should show normal thresholds
  • •Often documented in pediatric cases; verify age-appropriate diagnosis and rule out other causes of communication difficulty

Excludes 1 — Do NOT code together

  • mixed receptive-expressive language disorder (F80.2)
