About F42.8

F42.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other obsessive-compulsive disorder. It belongs to category F42 (obsessive-compulsive disorder), block F40-F48 (anxiety, dissociative, stress-related, somatoform and other nonpsychotic mental 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 F42, choose F42.8 (Other obsessive-compulsive disorder) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: mixed obsessional thoughts and acts (F42.2), Hoarding disorder (F42.3), Excoriation (skin-picking) disorder (F42.4) and unspecified (F42.9).

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 882 (Neuroses Except Depressive, relative weight 0.9952), 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 was added in FY2017, effective October 1, 2016.

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 300.3 (obsessive-compulsive disorders).
