Other specified manifestations of hyperkinetic syndrome

This code represents various behavioral or neurological manifestations of hyperkinetic syndrome (now commonly referred to as Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD) that are not otherwise specified as a particular type. It encompasses symptoms beyond the core inattentiveness, hyperactivity, or impulsivity, but are still considered part of the hyperkinetic spectrum. These might include associated features or secondary problems arising from the primary condition.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of hyperkinetic syndrome with specific manifestations that do not fit into the more defined categories of predominantly inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, or combined types. This code is appropriate for conditions like hyperkinetic conduct disorder or other specified behavioral disturbances directly linked to ADHD. Supporting documentation should detail the specific "other" manifestation.

• This is a residual category; ensure no more specific ICD-9-CM code for hyperkinetic syndrome or its manifestations is available.
• Always review the physician's documentation for precise terminology regarding the specific "other" manifestation to justify its use.
• Consider sequencing this code after a more general ADHD diagnosis (e.g., 314.00 or 314.01) if the "other specified manifestation" is a secondary or associated feature.
