About ICD-9-CM 315.2
315.2 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for other specific developmental learning difficulties. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-CM took over.
The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 2 ICD-10-CM codes, such as F81.81 (Disorder of written expression) and F81.89 (Other developmental disorders of scholastic skills). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
