ICD-10-CM R47: Speech Disturbances, Not Elsewhere Classified Overview
The ICD-10-CM R47 code group captures speech disturbances that do not fit more specific categories, including disorders of articulation, fluency, and other non-specified speech impairments. These diagnoses target neurologic and communication functions of the nervous system and head and neck structures. Accurate coding matters for reimbursement because it ensures services for evaluation and management, speech-language pathology, and related care are properly documented and adjudicated.
