Cognitive Impairment ICD-10-CM Codes

A cognitive impairment ICD code should be used whenever a patient exhibits significant changes in cognitive function, such as memory loss, difficulty with problem-solving, or issues with language and speech.

Treatment varies based on the underlying cause of cognitive impairment. It may include medication, cognitive training, physical activity, and lifestyle changes.

A diagnosis code for cognitive impairment means that a patient has been diagnosed with a significant decline in one or more areas of cognitive function. The specific code provides information on the severity and nature of the cognitive impairment.
