F06.71Mild neurocognitive disorder due to known physiological condition with behavioral disturbance

F06.71 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for mild neurocognitive disorder due to known physiological condition with behavioral disturbance. It belongs to category F06 (other mental disorders due to known physiological condition), block F01-F09 (mental disorders due to known physiological conditions) and chapter 5 (mental, Behavioral and Neurodevelopmental disorders). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within F06.7 (mild neurocognitive disorder due to known physiological condition), F06.71 is specifically for mild neurocognitive disorder due to known physiological condition with behavioral disturbance. Related codes cover without behavioral disturbance (F06.70).

Code first: the underlying physiological condition.

As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 884 (Organic Disturbances and Intellectual Disability, relative weight 1.6001), DRG 974 (HIV with Major Related Condition with MCC, relative weight 3.0506), DRG 975 (HIV with Major Related Condition with CC, relative weight 1.3252) and DRG 976 (HIV with Major Related Condition without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.8124), in MDC 19 (Mental Diseases and Disorders) and MDC 25 (Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infections), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

It is not acceptable as the principal diagnosis for an inpatient stay; it may be reported as a secondary diagnosis.

It was added in FY2023, effective October 1, 2022.
