F68.1Factitious disorder imposed on self

F68.1 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for factitious disorder imposed on self. It belongs to category F68 (other disorders of adult personality and behavior), 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 4 subcodes must be used instead.

Within F68 (other disorders of adult personality and behavior), F68.1 is specifically for factitious disorder imposed on self. Related codes cover other specified disorders of adult personality and behavior (F68.8) and factitious disorder imposed on another (F68.A).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: F68.10 (unspecified), F68.11 (with predominantly psychological signs and symptoms), F68.12 (with predominantly physical signs and symptoms) and F68.13 (with combined psychological and physical signs and symptoms).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of F68.1, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: factitial dermatitis (L98.1) and person feigning illness (with obvious motivation) (Z76.5).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015, and changed in FY2019 (title revised).
