What This Code Means

A condition where an adult fails to grow, develop, or maintain proper physical and mental functioning, often due to malnutrition, medical illness, or psychosocial factors.

Coding Tips

  • •Document the underlying cause (malnutrition, chronic disease, neglect) when possible for more specific coding
  • •Distinguish from failure to thrive in children (R62.51) which uses a different code
