I am in CA.

Would 315.9 (Unspecified delay in development) be any good?

Probably. I don't file insurance so others may be more helpful. I use the

codes for the underlying conditions such as mineral and vitamin

deficiencies, unspecified virus, candida, toxic elements, etc. I believe

others have used toxic encephalopathy or similar ones.

We got a diagnosis of heavy metal intoxication from a pediatric neurologist,

so we always used the code for that. After all, that's what it really is in

my son. Why lie about it and give it a politically correct term.
