About R62

R62 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for lack of expected normal physiological development in childhood and adults. It belongs to block R50-R69 (general symptoms and signs) and chapter 18 (symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: R62.0 (childhood), R62.5 (childhood) and R62.7 (thrive).

Don't report R62 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: delayed puberty (E30.0), gonadal dysgenesis (Q99.1) and hypopituitarism (E23.0).

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