Vascular dementia (F01) ICD-10-CM
The F01 code range covers vascular dementia with 33 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 24 of them are billable and valid for claim submission in fiscal year 2026, and the category headers group them but cannot themselves be billed.
Inclusion Terms
These terms are the conditions for which that code is to be used. The terms may be synonyms of the code title, or, in the case of "other specified" codes, the terms are a list of the various conditions assigned to that code. The inclusion terms are not necessarily exhaustive. Additional terms found only in the Alphabetic Index may also be assigned to a code.
- Vascular dementia as a result of infarction of the brain due to vascular disease, including hypertensive cerebrovascular disease.
Includes

- arteriosclerotic dementia
- major neurocognitive disorder due to vascular disease
- multi-infarct dementia
Code First
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. For such conditions, the ICD-10-CM has a coding convention that requires the underlying condition be sequenced first followed by the manifestation. Wherever such a combination exists, there is a "use additional code" note at the etiology code, and a "code first" note at the manifestation code. These instructional notes indicate the proper sequencing order of the codes, etiology followed by manifestation.

About the F01 Code Range
ICD-10 code F01 covers vascular dementia and its various forms, categorizing the condition by severity and presence of neuropsychiatric symptoms. These codes are used to document dementia caused specifically by brain blood vessel problems.
This section includes codes from F01.5 for unspecified severity to detailed subcategories like F01.50, which identifies vascular dementia without behavioral or mood symptoms, known by synonyms such as multi-infarct dementia or arteriosclerotic dementia. When behavioral disturbances are present, codes such as F01.51 for unspecified behavioral issues or F01.518 for other behavioral disturbances apply. Further distinctions are made for psychotic, mood, and anxiety symptoms, along with severity levels ranging from mild (F01.A) to severe (F01.C), each subdivided based on associated neuropsychiatric complications. For medical coders, recognizing these specifics ensures accurate coding of vascular dementia and associated symptoms, while for the public, understanding that these codes reflect brain vessel-induced dementia with varied psychiatric features helps clarify diagnosis and treatment documentation.
