Patient EducationClinical

Psychotic Disorders

Psychotic disorders are severe mental disorders that cause abnormal thinking and perceptions. People with psychoses lose touch with reality. Two of the main symptoms are delusions and hallucinations. Delusions are false beliefs, such as thinking that someone is plotting against you or that the TV is sending you secret messages.

Questions About F25Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for schizoaffective disorders?

F25 is the ICD-10-CM category for schizoaffective disorders, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is F25 (Schizoaffective disorders) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for schizoaffective disorders, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for schizoaffective disorders need a more specific code from this category, such as F25.0, F25.1, and F25.8.

Can F25 be reported with F30.2?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on F25 lists "mood [affective] disorders with psychotic symptoms (F30.2, F31.2, F31.5, F31.64, F32.3, F33.3)". 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).
