What are anxiety and depression-related ICD-10 codes I can use?
There are many anxiety and depression ICD codes that you can choose from. Here are six examples:
- F06.4 - Anxiety disorder due to known physiological condition
This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to have an anxiety disorder that emerged because of a physiological condition they have. It’s possible for people with physiological problems to develop anxiety, especially if they are distressed about the negative effects of the condition.
- F10.180 - Alcohol abuse with alcohol-induced anxiety disorder
This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to be heavily dependent on and consume copious amounts of alcohol more than they should. It is also specifically for those that developed an anxiety disorder due to their alcohol use, hence the alcohol-induced in the name.
- F40.8 - Other phobic anxiety disorders
This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient with an anxiety disorder based on fear. Examples of this include being anxious because of the fear of abandonment, fear of being a burden to others, fear of sickness, fear of heights, etc.
- F32.A - Depression, unspecified
This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to have depression. Unspecified means that it is just known that the patient has depression. The cause isn’t identified; there are no indications if the depression is major or not, if it is a single episode or several, and other things like having psychotic features and what type of depression it is. If you manage to determine the specifics of the depression, it’s best to use a more specific ICD-10 code.
- F32.3 - Major depressive disorder, single episode, severe with psychotic features
This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to have a major depressive disorder but who only experienced it for one episode. Severe with psychotic features means the major depressive disorder was severe, and the patient had hallucinations, delusions, and/or was in a state of stupor.
- F32.89 - Other specified depressive episodes
This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to have depression, but there’s no specific ICD-10 code for the type of depression they have. Some examples of depression that this code can be used for include endogenous depression, involutional depression, masked depression, menopausal depression, postoperative depression, etc.
