ADHD ICD-10 codes
Start with the primary code, then move to a more specific related code when the documentation supports it.
F90.9 | Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, unspecified type | ICD-10-CM |
F90.0 | ADHD, predominantly inattentive type | ICD-10-CM |
F90.1 | ADHD, predominantly hyperactive type | ICD-10-CM |
F90.2 | ADHD, combined type | ICD-10-CM |
Z79.899 | Other long term (current) drug therapy | ICD-10-CM |
Use F90.0, F90.1, or F90.2 when the clinical assessment documents the ADHD presentation. Use F90.9 only when ADHD type is not specified. Medication-management visits may also document long-term drug therapy depending on payer policy.
“Adult ADHD medication review. Persistent distractibility, disorganization, and difficulty completing tasks since childhood; hyperactivity minimal. Stimulant effective, no appetite or sleep adverse effects. Assessment: ADHD predominantly inattentive type.”
Paste a note or record audio. Notat’s FactsContext™ engine extracts the raw clinical facts first, then suggests codes from that context so you can inspect the evidence before using anything.

FactsContext extracts clinical facts first: diagnoses, symptoms, negatives, findings, test results, medications, and plan decisions.
The clinician can read and reuse the extracted medical context directly, independent of the generated note.
AI suggestions are not a substitute for clinician judgment, payer rules, local coding policy, or the official code set.
FAQ
When do I use F90.2?
Use F90.2 when both inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive features are documented as combined type ADHD.
Is F90.9 acceptable?
Yes when ADHD is documented without type, but specificity is better when the presentation is recorded.
Can AI infer ADHD type?
Notat should not invent a type. It extracts the documented presentation and assessment as clinical facts, then suggests the code supported by the note.
