ICD Code F06 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the six child codes of F06 that describes the diagnosis 'other mental disorders due to known physiological condition' in more detail.


The ICD code F06 is used to code Dementia

Dementia, also known as senility, is a broad category of brain diseases that cause a long term and often gradual decrease in the ability to think and remember that is great enough to affect a person's daily functioning. Other common symptoms include emotional problems, problems with language, and a decrease in motivation. A person's consciousness is usually not affected. A dementia diagnosis requires a change from a person's usual mental functioning and a greater decline than one would expect due to aging. These diseases also have a significant effect on a person's caregivers.
