\nThe US medical system switched from ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM on October 1, 2015. \u00a0For billing and other purposes, clinicians in the US *must* now use the ICD-10-CM codes.<\/p>\n

ICD stands for International Classification of Diseases, the classification system developed by the World Health Organization (WHO). CM stands for Clinical Modification \u2014 the ICD modified for use in the US.<\/p>\n

A key difference from the ICD-9-CM coding is that with ICD-10-CM, specification of subtype, severity, or other detail is usually required in order to determine the last digit of the code.<\/p>\n

The ICD-10-CM codes for all mental disorders are given in the DSM-5. However, if you don\u2019t have a copy, or even if you do, it is easy to\u00a0look up the ICD-10-CM code for any disorder at<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.cms.gov\/medicare-coverage-database\/staticpages\/icd-10-code-lookup.aspx<\/a><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

When you search for a DSM-5 diagnosis at that site, you will find the different codes that can be used for that category depending on subtype, severity, etc. For example, a search of the CMS site for the diagnosis of \u201cmajor depressive disorder\u201d results in the following:<\/p>\n

\"Major<\/a><\/p>\n

Note: It is an easy method for looking up what the ICD-10 code is, but we have to enter the name of the mental disorder. Unfortunately it does not search by symptom, e.g.., \u201cdepression.\u201d Interestingly, I tested this and part of the name of the disorder does work. E.g., \u201cdepressive,\u201d \u201cbipolar,\u201d \u201cmajor,\u201d etc).<\/p>\n

Why are all the codes not simply consecutive? That is because the diagnostic categories in ICD-10, though similar to those in DSM-5, are not exactly the same. The numbering is based on how the diagnostic categories are grouped in ICD-10 (see below on this page for how ICD-10 is organized), not on how they are grouped in DSM-5<\/p>\n

\n

However, in the US, we have to work the other way around: start with the DSM-5 diagnostic category and know what the ICD-10-CM code for that condition is. For example, here are the ICD-10-CM codes for a few\u00a0commonly diagnosed mental disorders.\u00a0(Note that ICD-10-CM codes for most, but not all, mental disorders start with the letter F. Diagnoses with codes starting with F are those that correspond to chapter 5 of ICD-10; see below)<\/p>\n

Autism Spectrum Disorder<\/strong> F84.0<\/p>\n

Attention-Deficit\/Hyperactivity Disorder
\n<\/strong>Predominantly inattentive presentation F90.0
\nPredominantly hyperactive\/impulsive presentation F90.1
\nCombined presentation F90.2<\/p>\n

Generalized Anxiety Disorder\u00a0<\/strong>F41.1<\/p>\n

Bipolar I Disorder
\n<\/strong>Current or most recent episode manic F31.1
\nCurrent or most recent episode depressed\u00a0F31.3<\/p>\n

Bipolar II Disorder<\/strong>\u00a0F31.81<\/p>\n

Major Depressive<\/strong> Disorder<\/strong>
\nSingle episode\u00a0<\/b>F32
\nRecurrent episode F33<\/p>\n

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder<\/strong> F43.10<\/p>\n

Schizophrenia<\/strong> F20.9<\/p>\n

Schizoaffective Disorder<\/strong>
\nBipolar type F25.0
\nDepressive type F25.1<\/p>\n
