F64.1Dual role transvestism

Billable / specific codeICD-10-CM

F64.1 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for dual role transvestism. It is valid for submission on a claim.

Excludes1 — never code together

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

  • gender identity disorder in childhood (F64.2)

Excludes2 — not included here, but may coexist

The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.

  • fetishistic transvestism (F65.1)

Add a secondary code to capture the detail described below.

  • code to identify sex reassignment status (Z87.890)

Risk adjustment

F64.1 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.

Medicare coverage

F64.1 is named in 11 Medicare coverage policies 9 listing it as supporting medical necessity, and 2 listing it as NOT covered. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
