Is F06.7 a billable ICD-10-CM code?

No. F06.7 is a non-billable header code. Code to a higher level of specificity using one of its child codes.

Where does F06.7 sit in the tabular list?

Mental, Behavioral and Neurodevelopmental disorders (F01-F99), in the block Mental disorders due to known physiological conditions (F01-F09).

What cannot be coded together with F06.7?

F06.7 carries an Excludes1 note, which means the conditions it lists can never be coded together with it on the same encounter.

F06.7 — Mild neurocognitive disorder due to known physiological condition

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

F06.7 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for mild neurocognitive disorder due to known physiological condition. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes1 — never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

age related cognitive decline (R41.81)
altered mental status (R41.82)
cerebral degeneration (G31.9)
change in mental status (R41.82)
cognitive deficits following (sequelae of) cerebral hemorrhage or infarction (I69.01-I69.11-, I69.21-I69.31-, I69.81- I69.91-)
dementia (F01.-, F02.-, F03.-)
mild cognitive impairment due to unknown or unspecified etiology (G31.84)
neurologic neglect syndrome (R41.4)
personality change, nonpsychotic (F68.8)

Code first

The underlying condition must be sequenced before this code.

the underlying physiological condition, such as:
Alzheimer's disease (G30.-)

Huntington's disease (G10)
Neurocognitive disorder with Lewy bodies (G31.83)
other frontotemporal neurocognitive disorder (G31.09)

systemic lupus erythematosus (M32.-)
traumatic brain injury (S06.-)
vitamin B deficiency (E53.-)

Inclusion terms

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

Mild neurocognitive impairment due to a known physiological condition

Other codes that can never be billed with F06.7

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at F06.7. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading F06.7 alone.

F01.AVascular dementia, mild
F02Dementia in other diseases classified elsewhere
F02.ADementia in other diseases classified elsewhere, mild
F03.AUnspecified dementia, mild
F09Unspecified mental disorder due to known physiological condition
G31.84Mild cognitive impairment of uncertain or unknown etiology

Risk adjustment

F06.7 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 F06.7

2 child codes. Green means billable.
