Code Classification

  • Mental and behavioural disorders
    (F01–F99)
    • Mental disorders due to known physiological conditions
      (F01-F09)
      • Other mental disorders due to known physiological condition
        (F06)

F06 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of other mental disorders due to known physiological condition. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.

Specific Coding Applicable to Other mental disorders due to known physiological condition

Non-specific codes like F06 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for other mental disorders due to known physiological condition:

  • Use F06.0 for Psychotic disorder with hallucinations due to known physiological condition - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F06.1 for Catatonic disorder due to known physiological condition - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F06.2 for Psychotic disorder with delusions due to known physiological condition - BILLABLE CODE

  • F06.3 for Mood disorder due to known physiological condition - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F06.30 for Mood disorder due to known physiological condition, unspecified - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F06.31 for Mood disorder due to known physiological condition with depressive features - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F06.32 for Mood disorder due to known physiological condition with major depressive-like episode - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F06.33 for Mood disorder due to known physiological condition with manic features - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F06.34 for Mood disorder due to known physiological condition with mixed features - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F06.4 for Anxiety disorder due to known physiological condition - BILLABLE CODE

  • F06.7 for Mild neurocognitive disorder due to known physiological condition - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F06.70 for Mild neurocognitive disorder due to known physiological condition without behavioral disturbance - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F06.71 for Mild neurocognitive disorder due to known physiological condition with behavioral disturbance - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F06.8 for Other specified mental disorders due to known physiological condition - BILLABLE CODE

Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries

The following annotation back-references are applicable to this diagnosis code. The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10-CM codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more.


Includes

Includes
This note appears immediately under a three character code title to further define, or give examples of, the content of the category.
  • mental disorders due to endocrine disorder
  • mental disorders due to exogenous hormone
  • mental disorders due to exogenous toxic substance
  • mental disorders due to primary cerebral disease
  • mental disorders due to somatic illness
  • mental disorders due to systemic disease affecting the brain

Code First

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.
  • the underlying physiological condition

Type 1 Excludes

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.
  • unspecified dementia F03

Type 2 Excludes

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.
  • delirium due to known physiological condition F05
  • dementia as classified in F01 F02
  • other mental disorders associated with alcohol and other psychoactive substances F10 F19

Patient Education


Mental Disorders

What are mental disorders?

Mental disorders (or mental illnesses) are conditions that affect your thinking, feeling, mood, and behavior. They may be occasional or long-lasting (chronic). They can affect your ability to relate to others and function each day.

What are some types of mental disorders?

There are many different types of mental disorders. Some common ones include:

  • Anxiety disorders, including panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and phobias
  • Depression, bipolar disorder, and other mood disorders
  • Eating disorders
  • Personality disorders
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder
  • Psychotic disorders, including schizophrenia

What causes mental disorders?

There is no single cause for mental illness. A number of factors can contribute to risk for mental illness, such as:

  • Your genes and family history
  • Your life experiences, such as stress or a history of abuse, especially if they happen in childhood
  • Biological factors such as chemical imbalances in the brain
  • A traumatic brain injury
  • A mother's exposure to viruses or toxic chemicals while pregnant
  • Use of alcohol or recreational drugs
  • Having a serious medical condition like cancer
  • Having few friends, and feeling lonely or isolated

Mental disorders are not caused by character flaws. They have nothing to do with being lazy or weak.

Who is at risk for mental disorders?

Mental disorders are common. More than half of all Americans will be diagnosed with a mental disorder at some time in their life.

How are mental disorders diagnosed?

The steps to getting a diagnosis include:

  • A medical history
  • A physical exam and possibly lab tests, if your provider thinks that other medical conditions could be causing your symptoms
  • A psychological evaluation. You will answer questions about your thinking, feelings, and behaviors.

What are the treatments for mental disorders?

Treatment depends on which mental disorder you have and how serious it is. You and your provider will work on a treatment plan just for you. It usually involves some type of therapy. You may also take medicines. Some people also need social support and education on managing their condition.

In some cases, you may need more intensive treatment. You may need to go to a psychiatric hospital. This could be because your mental illness is severe. Or it could be because you are at risk of hurting yourself or someone else. In the hospital, you will get counseling, group discussions, and activities with mental health professionals and other patients.
