About F64.8

F64.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other gender identity disorders. It belongs to category F64 (gender identity disorders), block F60-F69 (disorders of adult personality and behavior) 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 F64, choose F64.8 (Other gender identity disorders) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: Transsexualism (F64.0), dual role transvestism (F64.1), gender identity disorder of childhood (F64.2), gender identity disorder, unspecified (F64.9) and gender identity disorder, in remission (F64.A).

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 887 (Other Mental Disorder Diagnoses, relative weight 1.1139), 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 302.6 (gender identity disorder in children).
