About coding Deterioration mental epilepsy
The ICD-10-CM code for Deterioration mental epilepsy is F06.8 (Other specified mental disorders due to known physiological condition).
Within F06, choose F06.8 (Other specified mental disorders due to known physiological condition) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: psychotic disorder with hallucinations due to known physiological condition (F06.0), Catatonic disorder due to known physiological condition (F06.1), psychotic disorder with delusions due to known physiological condition (F06.2), mood disorder due to known physiological condition (F06.3), anxiety disorder due to known physiological condition (F06.4) and mild neurocognitive disorder due to known physiological condition (F06.7).
Code first: the underlying physiological condition.
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
