About F20.3

F20.3 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for Undifferentiated schizophrenia. It belongs to category F20 (schizophrenia), block F20-F29 (schizophrenia, schizotypal, delusional, and other non-mood psychotic disorders) 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 F20 (schizophrenia), F20.3 is specifically for Undifferentiated schizophrenia. Related codes cover paranoid schizophrenia (F20.0), Disorganized schizophrenia (F20.1), Catatonic schizophrenia (F20.2), residual schizophrenia (F20.5), other schizophrenia (F20.8) and unspecified (F20.9).

Don't report F20.3 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: acute schizophrenia-like psychotic disorder (F23).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of F20.3, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: post-schizophrenic depression (F32.89).

Use an additional code, if applicable, to identify: other specified cognitive deficit (R41.84-).

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 885 (Psychoses, relative weight 1.3901), in MDC 19 (Mental Diseases and Disorders), 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 has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 295.90 (unspecified schizophrenia, unspecified).
