diffulty concentrating
see 784.60
see 784.60
May be you could select from one of these:
309.23- Specific Academic or work inhibition.
314.01- simple disturbance of attention ( it should go with over activity)
781.8- Hemi-inattention.
The age and other factors associated, should also be taken into account for selection/assigning the code.
Hope this helps to give some clue

For DX of "difficulty concentrating", so stated, I would agree with using 799.51 attention or concentration deficit.

I work in an auditing environment that is 1-2 calendar years behind so I am still using ICD-9 2009. It was interesting to read the suggestion for this dx. 799.51 is a new code in the 2011 that spells it out directly, whereas in previous versions, there are many options that were not this direct. Just one more reason to welcome ICD-10!

Lol. I didn't even realize that this question was initially asked in 2009! My guess is that the asker has probably sorted it all out by now. ;B
