About F65.8

F65.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other paraphilias. It belongs to category F65 (paraphilias), block F60-F69 (disorders of adult personality and behavior) 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 F65, choose F65.8 (Other paraphilias) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: fetishism (F65.0), Transvestic fetishism (F65.1), Exhibitionism (F65.2), Voyeurism (F65.3), Pedophilia (F65.4), Sadomasochism (F65.5) and Paraphilia, unspecified (F65.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: F65.81 (Frotteurism) and F65.89 (paraphilias).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
