Code Classification

  • Mental and behavioural disorders
    (F01–F99)
    • Mental disorders due to known physiological conditions
      (F01-F09)
      • Dementia in other diseases classified elsewhere
        (F02)

F02.811 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of dementia in other diseases classified elsewhere, unspecified severity, with agitation. The code is valid during the current fiscal year for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions from October 01, 2023 through September 30, 2024.

Unspecified diagnosis codes like F02.811 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.
