F01Vascular dementia

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

F01 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for vascular dementia. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Code first

The underlying condition must be sequenced before this code.

  • , if applicable, any causal condition

Includes

Conditions this code covers.

  • arteriosclerotic dementia
  • major neurocognitive disorder due to vascular disease
  • multi-infarct dementia

Inclusion terms

Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.

  • Vascular dementia as a result of infarction of the brain due to vascular disease, including hypertensive cerebrovascular disease.

Other codes that can never be billed with F01

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at F01. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading F01 alone.

  • R46Symptoms and signs involving appearance and behavior
  • F06.7Mild neurocognitive disorder due to known physiological condition
  • G31.84Mild cognitive impairment of uncertain or unknown etiology

Risk adjustment

F01 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.

Code to one of these instead F01

4 child codes. Green means billable.
