F32.8 – Other Depressive Episodes

F32.8 is a code for other specified depressive episodes. It is used when the specific type of depression cannot be identified and the patient exhibits depressive symptoms.

Because more "specific" codes have emerged, please use the two we mentioned earlier instead of F32.8.

The diagnosis code for other depressive episodes is F32.8. When submitting a claim form, the code should be entered into the appropriate field along with any additional specifications or modifiers that may be required.
