Excludes1 inherited from the categories above F01.A11
These are not written on F01.A11, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing F01.A11 with anything listed here is a denial.
Other codes that can never be billed with F01.A11
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at F01.A11. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading F01.A11 alone.
Risk adjustment
F01.A11 risk-adjusts. Under the CMS-HCC V28 model it maps to this category:
- HCC 127 Dementia, Mild or Unspecified0.341 RAF
Coefficient shown for the Community Non-dual Aged segment. A higher HCC in the same hierarchy will suppress this one, so capturing it does not always add score.
Medicare coverage
F01.A11 is named in 15 Medicare coverage policies — 14 listing it as supporting medical necessity, and 1 listing it as NOT covered. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
