ICD-10 Codes for Mental Health Billing: Behavioral Health Code Reference

ICD-10-CM requires the highest level of specificity. Use the most specific code available that is supported by clinical documentation.

Clinical notes must clearly state the diagnosis that supports this code. Coders assign codes based on documented provider statements.

Link this diagnosis code accurately to all procedures billed to demonstrate medical necessity for each service.

Verify that the payer covers the services billed with this diagnosis code. Some payers have limited coverage lists for specific ICD-10 codes.
