Developmental Delay ICD-10-CM Codes

These codes should be used when documenting a confirmed diagnosis of a developmental delay in a patient's medical record.

Treatments vary depending on the cause and severity of the delay. They may include physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, or educational interventions.

A diagnosis code for Developmental Delay indicates that a patient has a delay in one or more areas of development that is significant enough to warrant clinical attention.
