About coding developmental aphasia
The ICD-10-CM code for developmental aphasia is F80.2 (Mixed receptive-expressive language disorder). The official index lists 2 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on F80.2.
Within F80 (specific developmental disorders of speech and language), F80.2 is specifically for mixed receptive-expressive language disorder. Related codes cover Phonological disorder (F80.0), Expressive language disorder (F80.1), speech and language development delay due to hearing loss (F80.4), other developmental disorders of speech and language (F80.8) and developmental disorder of speech and language, unspecified (F80.9).
Don't report F80.2 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: central auditory processing disorder (H93.25), dysphasia or aphasia NOS (R47.-), expressive language disorder (F80.1), expressive type dysphasia or aphasia (F80.1) and 1 more.
The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of F80.2, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: acquired aphasia with epilepsy [Landau-Kleffner] (G40.80-), pervasive developmental disorders (F84.-), selective mutism (F94.0) and intellectual disabilities (F70-F79).
