About coding primary progressive aphasia
The ICD-10-CM code for primary progressive aphasia is G31.01 (Pick's disease). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on G31.01.
Within G31.0 (frontotemporal dementia), G31.01 is specifically for Pick's disease. Related codes cover other frontotemporal neurocognitive disorder (G31.09).
Use an additional code, if applicable, for codes G31.0-G31.83, G31.85-G31.9, to identify: dementia with anxiety (F02.84, F02.A4, F02.B4, F02.C4), dementia with behavioral disturbance (F02.81-, F02.A1-, F02.B1-, F02.C1-), dementia with mood disturbance (F02.83, F02.A3, F02.B3, F02.C3), dementia with psychotic disturbance (F02.82, F02.A2, F02.B2, F02.C2), dementia without behavioral disturbance (F02.80, F02.A0, F02.B0, F02.C0) and 1 more.
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
