F98Other behavioral and emotional disorders with onset usually occurring in childhood and adolescence

F98 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other behavioral and emotional disorders with onset usually occurring in childhood and adolescence. It belongs to 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 a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 8 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: F98.0 (condition), F98.1 (condition), F98.2 (childhood), F98.3 (childhood), F98.4 (disorders), F98.5 (disorder), F98.8 (adolescence) and F98.9 (adolescence).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of F98, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: breath-holding spells (R06.89), gender identity disorder of childhood (F64.2), Kleine-Levin syndrome (G47.13), obsessive-compulsive disorder (F42.-) and 1 more.

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