- Caffeine induced anxiety disorder, without use disorder
Excludes1 inherited from the categories above F15.980
These are not written on F15.980, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing F15.980 with anything listed here is a denial.
Excludes2 inherited from the categories above F15.980
Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of F15.980, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.
Risk adjustment
F15.980 risk-adjusts. Under the CMS-HCC V28 model it maps to this category:
- HCC 137 Drug Use Disorder, Moderate/Severe, or Drug Use with Non-Psychotic Complications0.424 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.
