What ICD-10 Codes are Used for Alzheimer's Dementia
G30.9
This ICD-10 code for Alzheimer's dementia is used when the specific onset of the disease cannot be determined, indicating uncertainty about the patient's symptom onset. It may be accompanied by a family history of Alzheimer's disease or other risk factors.
G30.0
This is an ICD-10 code for Alzheimer's dementia with behavioral disturbance. It is for Alzheimer's disease with early onset occurring before the age of 65 and is rare, accounting for around 5% of cases.
G30.1
Alzheimer's disease with late onset is the most common form, accounting for approximately 95% of cases. Symptoms generally appear after the age of 65, although they can manifest earlier in some cases.
G30
One of Alzheimer's Dementia ICD Codes. It is a comprehensive diagnostic code for Alzheimer's disease regardless of the age of onset. It is used when the specific onset cannot be determined. Symptoms of Alzheimer's disease vary but commonly include memory loss, cognitive impairment, and behavioral changes.
G30.8
This ICD-10 code Alzheimer's dementia encompasses other types of Alzheimer's disease that do not fit the aforementioned categories.
