About coding vascular dementia)
The ICD-10-CM code for vascular dementia) is F01.50 (Vascular dementia, unspecified severity, without behavioral disturbance, psychotic disturbance, mood disturbance, and anxiety). The official index lists 35 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on F01.50.
Within F01.5, choose F01.50 (without behavioral disturbance, psychotic disturbance, mood disturbance, and anxiety) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: with behavioral disturbance (F01.51), with psychotic disturbance (F01.52), with mood disturbance (F01.53) and with anxiety (F01.54).
Code first: , if applicable, any causal condition.
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
