| ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016

R48.8 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of other symbolic dysfunctions. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code R488 is used to code Echolalia

Echolalia (also known as echologia or echophrasia) is defined as the unsolicited repetition of vocalizations made by another person (by the same person is called palilalia). In its full blown form it is automatic and effortless. It is one of the echophenomena, closely related to echopraxia, the automatic repetition of movements made by another person; both are "subsets of imitative behavior" whereby sounds or actions are imitated "without explicit awareness". Echolalia may be an immediate reaction to a stimulus or may be delayed.
