Other symptoms and signs involving general sensations and perceptions (R44) ICD-10-CM
The R44 code range covers other symptoms and signs involving general sensations and perceptions with 7 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 6 of them are billable and valid for claim submission in fiscal year 2027, and the category headers group them but cannot themselves be billed.
Type 1 Excludes
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
- alcoholic hallucinations F10.151 F10.251 F10.951
- hallucinations in drug psychosis F11 F19
- hallucinations in mood disorders with psychotic symptoms F30.2 F31.5 F32.3 F33.3
- hallucinations in schizophrenia, schizotypal and delusional disorders F20 F29
Type 2 Excludes
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.
