R41.84Other specified cognitive deficit

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

R41.84 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for other specified cognitive deficit. 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.

Code first

The underlying condition must be sequenced before this code.

  • the underlying condition, if known, such as:
  • schizophrenia (F20.-)

Other codes that can never be billed with R41.84

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at R41.84. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading R41.84 alone.

  • R41.4Neurologic neglect syndrome

Risk adjustment

R41.84 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 to one of these instead R41.84

5 child codes. Green means billable.
