R62.50 – Unspecified lack of expected normal physiological development in childhood

Yes, this ICD-10 code is billable.

You use it when your patient is confirmed to have an unspecified lack of expected normal physiological development in childhood, meaning you know they have a physiological development issue or disorder, but you don’t know what it is specifically as of now.

That depends on what the specific problem is. If a specific problem is detected, a more specific ICD-10 code should be used. Treatment might involve nutrition, physical therapy, medication, occupational therapy, speech therapy, etc.
