F06.7Mild neurocognitive disorder due to known physiological condition

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

F06.7 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for mild neurocognitive disorder due to known physiological condition. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes1 — never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

  • age related cognitive decline (R41.81)
  • altered mental status (R41.82)
  • cerebral degeneration (G31.9)
  • change in mental status (R41.82)
  • cognitive deficits following (sequelae of) cerebral hemorrhage or infarction (I69.01-I69.11-, I69.21-I69.31-, I69.81- I69.91-)
  • dementia (F01.-, F02.-, F03.-)
  • mild cognitive impairment due to unknown or unspecified etiology (G31.84)
  • neurologic neglect syndrome (R41.4)
  • personality change, nonpsychotic (F68.8)

Code first

The underlying condition must be sequenced before this code.

  • the underlying physiological condition, such as:
  • Alzheimer's disease (G30.-)
  • human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] disease (B20)
  • Huntington's disease (G10)
  • Neurocognitive disorder with Lewy bodies (G31.83)
  • other frontotemporal neurocognitive disorder (G31.09)
  • Parkinson's disease (G20.-)
  • systemic lupus erythematosus (M32.-)
  • traumatic brain injury (S06.-)
  • vitamin B deficiency (E53.-)

Inclusion terms

Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.

  • Mild neurocognitive impairment due to a known physiological condition

Excludes1 inherited from the categories above F06.7

These are not written on F06.7, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing F06.7 with anything listed here is a denial.

Written on F06 Other mental disorders due to known physiological condition

  • unspecified dementia (F03.-)

Excludes2 inherited from the categories above F06.7

Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of F06.7, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.

Written on F06 Other mental disorders due to known physiological condition

  • delirium due to known physiological condition (F05)
  • dementia as classified in F01-F02
  • other mental disorders associated with alcohol and other psychoactive substances (F10-F19)

Other codes that can never be billed with F06.7

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at F06.7. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading F06.7 alone.

  • F01.AVascular dementia, mild
  • F02Dementia in other diseases classified elsewhere
  • F02.ADementia in other diseases classified elsewhere, mild
  • F03.AUnspecified dementia, mild
  • F09Unspecified mental disorder due to known physiological condition
  • G31.84Mild cognitive impairment of uncertain or unknown etiology

Risk adjustment

F06.7 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.

Code history

F06.7 has not changed since FY2024 — no addition, revision or deletion across the three most recent ICD-10-CM releases.

Code to one of these instead F06.7

2 child codes. Green means billable.

Questions about F06.7

Is F06.7 a billable ICD-10-CM code?
No. F06.7 is a non-billable header code. Code to a higher level of specificity using one of its child codes.
Where does F06.7 sit in the tabular list?
Mental, Behavioral and Neurodevelopmental disorders (F01-F99), in the block Mental disorders due to known physiological conditions (F01-F09).
What cannot be coded together with F06.7?
F06.7 carries Excludes1 notes, which means the conditions they list can never be coded together with it on the same encounter. Some are written on the categories above F06.7 (F06) and apply to it just the same.
