F01.51Vascular dementia, unspecified severity, with behavioral disturbance

F01.51 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for vascular dementia, unspecified severity, with behavioral disturbance. It belongs to category F01 (vascular dementia), block F01-F09 (mental disorders due to known physiological conditions) and chapter 5 (mental, Behavioral and Neurodevelopmental disorders). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within F01.5 (vascular dementia, unspecified severity), F01.51 is specifically for vascular dementia, unspecified severity, with behavioral disturbance. Related codes cover without behavioral disturbance, psychotic disturbance, mood disturbance, and anxiety (F01.50), with psychotic disturbance (F01.52), with mood disturbance (F01.53) and with anxiety (F01.54).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: F01.511 (agitation) and F01.518 (disturbance).

Code first: , if applicable, any causal condition.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015, and changed in FY2023 (title revised).

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 290.41 (vascular dementia, with delirium).
