F80.2 diagnosis code: Mixed receptive-expressive language disorder

The F80.2 is an ICD code that's included in the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM), and it is used to designate Mixed receptive-expressive language disorder.”

When a person has a language disorder, that means they have trouble when it comes to communicating. The troubles that a person may face if they have language disorders include having difficulty speaking, like incorrectly saying sounds, stuttering, or saying things intelligibly. Some may have trouble understanding speech or other forms of communication.

In the context of this diagnosis code, a person is dealing with a mixture of receptive and expressive language disorders. This mixture can potentially be a pervasive developmental disorder.

Is the F80.2 billable?

Yes, the F80.2 ICD-10 code is billable and can be used to designate a patient for reimbursement purposes.

F80.2 clinical information

Again, this ICD-10 code diagnoses a patient with a mixture of two language disorders.

When we speak of receptive language disorder, we pertain to the inability to understand others in terms of speech and writing.

When we speak of expressive language disorder, we pertain to the inability to communicate and share thoughts, ideas, feelings, and more through speech and writing.

Numerous factors cause these disorders, such as:

  • Developmental and learning disabilities
  • Aphasia and other brain injuries
  • Stroke and other neurological conditions
  • Autism spectrum disorder
  • Deafness
  • Stuttering
  • Dysphonia and other voice problems

To determine if a person has a language developmental disorder, they often undergo assessments that gauge the strength of their communication.

Once a person has been diagnosed with a mixed receptive-expressive language disorder, they can be treated via speech and language therapy, which may involve teaching them augmentative or alternative communication.
