F94.2Disinhibited attachment disorder of childhood

F94.2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for Disinhibited attachment disorder of childhood. It belongs to category F94 (disorders of social functioning with onset specific to childhood and adolescence), block F90-F98 (behavioral and emotional disorders with onset usually occurring in childhood and adolescence) and chapter 5 (mental, Behavioral and Neurodevelopmental disorders). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within F94 (disorders of social functioning with onset specific to childhood and adolescence), F94.2 is specifically for Disinhibited attachment disorder of childhood. Related codes cover selective mutism (F94.0), reactive attachment disorder of childhood (F94.1), other childhood disorders of social functioning (F94.8) and childhood disorder of social functioning, unspecified (F94.9).

Don't report F94.2 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: reactive attachment disorder of childhood (F94.1).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of F94.2, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: Asperger's syndrome (F84.5), attention-deficit hyperactivity disorders (F90.-) and hospitalism in children (F43.2-).

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 886 (Behavioral and Developmental Disorders, relative weight 1.8678), in MDC 19 (Mental Diseases and Disorders), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 313.89 (other emotional disturbances of childhood or adolescence).
