[quote=Anonymous]There's been some argument about this category in recent days, but I hope that this post will lay the issue to rest, rather stir up more trouble. DSM V deleted MERLD as a diagnosistic category, but it lives on in another important place - ICD-10. ICD-10 is the International Classification of Diseases, 10th edition, and it's where those code numbers on your medical invoices come from. You can't get an insurance reimbursement for treatment without one of those codes, so users of DSM-V have to translate their diagnosis into an ICD-10 diagnosis . So it turns out that F80.2 is Mixed Receptive-Expressive Language Disorder. http://www.icd10data.com/ICD10CM/Codes/F01-F99/F80-F89/F80-/F80.2 I trust this will lay this particular issue to rest, and we will have one less dumb thing to argue about.
