About F44.8
F44.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other dissociative and conversion disorders. It belongs to category F44 (dissociative and conversion disorders), block F40-F48 (anxiety, dissociative, stress-related, somatoform and other nonpsychotic mental disorders) 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 F44, choose F44.8 (Other dissociative and conversion disorders) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: dissociative amnesia (F44.0), dissociative fugue (F44.1), dissociative stupor (F44.2), conversion disorder with motor symptom or deficit (F44.4), conversion disorder with seizures or convulsions (F44.5), conversion disorder with sensory symptom or deficit (F44.6), conversion disorder with mixed symptom presentation (F44.7) and dissociative and conversion disorder, unspecified (F44.9).
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: F44.81 (disorder) and F44.89 (disorders).
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
