2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F01Vascular dementia
F01 is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code for vascular dementia, so it cannot be submitted on claims. Use a more specific code from this category instead, such as F01.50, F01.511, F01.518, and F01.52.

Specific Coding for Vascular dementiaOverview
Non-specific codes like F01 require more characters. Use one of these billable codes instead:
F01.5 for Vascular dementia, unspecified severity
Use F01.50 for Vascular dementia, unspecified severity, without behavioral disturbance, psychotic disturbance, mood disturbance, and anxiety
F01.51 for Vascular dementia, unspecified severity, with behavioral disturbance
Use F01.52 for Vascular dementia, unspecified severity, with psychotic disturbance
Use F01.53 for Vascular dementia, unspecified severity, with mood disturbance
Use F01.54 for Vascular dementia, unspecified severity, with anxiety
F01.A for Vascular dementia, mild
Use F01.A0 for Vascular dementia, mild, without behavioral disturbance, psychotic disturbance, mood disturbance, and anxiety
F01.A1 for Vascular dementia, mild, with behavioral disturbance
Use F01.A2 for Vascular dementia, mild, with psychotic disturbance
Use F01.A3 for Vascular dementia, mild, with mood disturbance
Use F01.A4 for Vascular dementia, mild, with anxiety
F01.B for Vascular dementia, moderate
Use F01.B0 for Vascular dementia, moderate, without behavioral disturbance, psychotic disturbance, mood disturbance, and anxiety
F01.B1 for Vascular dementia, moderate, with behavioral disturbance
Use F01.B2 for Vascular dementia, moderate, with psychotic disturbance
Use F01.B3 for Vascular dementia, moderate, with mood disturbance
Use F01.B4 for Vascular dementia, moderate, with anxiety
F01.C for Vascular dementia, severe
Use F01.C0 for Vascular dementia, severe, without behavioral disturbance, psychotic disturbance, mood disturbance, and anxiety
F01.C1 for Vascular dementia, severe, with behavioral disturbance
Use F01.C2 for Vascular dementia, severe, with psychotic disturbance

Tabular List NotesGuidance
Coding notes and annotation back-references applicable to this code.
Inclusion Terms
- Vascular dementia as a result of infarction of the brain due to vascular disease, including hypertensive cerebrovascular disease.
Includes
- arteriosclerotic dementia
- major neurocognitive disorder due to vascular disease
- multi-infarct dementia
Code First
- , if applicable, any causal condition
These terms are the conditions for which that code is to be used. The terms may be synonyms of the code title, or, in the case of "other specified" codes, the terms are a list of the various conditions assigned to that code. The inclusion terms are not necessarily exhaustive. Additional terms found only in the Alphabetic Index may also be assigned to a code.
This note appears immediately under a three character code title to further define, or give examples of, the content of the category.
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. For such conditions, the ICD-10-CM has a coding convention that requires the underlying condition be sequenced first followed by the manifestation. Wherever such a combination exists, there is a "use additional code" note at the etiology code, and a "code first" note at the manifestation code. These instructional notes indicate the proper sequencing order of the codes, etiology followed by manifestation.
