Notes
General instructions on how these codes are used.
- This block comprises a range of mental disorders grouped together on the basis of their having in common a demonstrable etiology in cerebral disease, brain injury, or other insult leading to cerebral dysfunction. The dysfunction may be primary, as in diseases, injuries, and insults that affect the brain directly and selectively; or secondary, as in systemic diseases and disorders that attack the brain only as one of the multiple organs or systems of the body that are involved.

Questions About F07.0Overview
What is the ICD-10 code for personality change due to known physiological condition?
The ICD-10-CM code for personality change due to known physiological condition is F07.0 (sometimes written as F070). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Is F07.0 a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report personality change due to known physiological condition on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
What MS-DRG does F07.0 group to?
On inpatient claims, personality change due to known physiological condition maps to MS-DRG 884 (organic Disturbances and Intellectual Disability), which carries a relative weight of 1.5998. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
Can F07.0 be a principal diagnosis?
No. The Medicare Code Editor rejects this code as a principal diagnosis because personality change due to known physiological condition describes a circumstance that influences health status rather than a current illness. Report it as a secondary diagnosis.
Can F07.0 be reported with G31.84?
Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on F07.0 lists "mild cognitive impairment (G31.84)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
