- Billable — Valid for Submission
- CC — Complication or Comorbidity
- Chronic Condition
F32.0 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for major depressive disorder, single episode, mild. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2026 (October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026) and groups to MS-DRG 885. As a secondary diagnosis, it counts as a complication or comorbidity (CC) and moves an inpatient stay to a higher severity level within its MS-DRG family. It does not count, however, when the principal diagnosis is one of 12 closely related codes. Coders also document this condition as mild depression. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Depressive disorders.
F32.0 no longer risk-adjusts for Medicare Advantage: it mapped to HCC 59 under the retired CMS-HCC V24 model through payment year 2025 but maps to no category in the live V28 model. It still risk-adjusts in the PACE (CMS-HCC V22) category 58, ESRD (V21) category 58, ESRD (V24) category 59, and RxHCC Part D (V08) category 132 for payment year 2026.
