ICD-10-CM Code For Conduct Disorders: Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) code group F91 includes conduct disorders such as oppositional behaviors, aggressive conduct, and patterns of rule-breaking that impair social, academic, or occupational functioning. These ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes are used to document clinical encounters for children and adolescents presenting with behaviors that may include aggression, destruction of property, deceit or theft, and serious violations of rules, capturing severity, onset, and comorbidity. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-CM F91 group supports proper claim adjudication and complete clinical documentation and appropriate reimbursement.

ICD-10-CM F91: Conduct Disorders Overview
This group covers behavioral disorders characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of violating the basic rights of others or major age-appropriate societal norms and rules, typically affecting children and adolescents. The diagnoses target behavioral and emotional functioning rather than a specific organ system. Accurate coding matters for reimbursement because it supports clear documentation of behavioral complexity and the need for specific interventions.
