What is the ICD-10-CM code for cognitive decline? R41. 81 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
ICD-10-CM Code for Unspecified dementia without behavioral disturbance F03.90 ICD-10 code F03.90 for Unspecified dementia without behavioral disturbance is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Mental, Behavioral and Neurodevelopmental disorders .
Cognitive dysfunction refers to deficits in attention, verbal and nonverbal learning, short-term and working memory, visual and auditory processing, problem solving, processing speed, and motor functioning.
ICD-9 Code 331.83 -Mild cognitive impairment, so stated- Codify by AAPC.

Abstract. Cognitive disorders include dementia, amnesia, and delirium. In these disorders, patients are no longer fully oriented to time and space.
ICD-10 | Mild cognitive impairment, so stated (G31. 84)
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is the stage between the expected cognitive decline of normal aging and the more serious decline of dementia. It's characterized by problems with memory, language, thinking or judgment.
ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 780.93 : Memory loss.

Stage 1: Normal functioning with no noticeable decline. Stage 2: The person may feel like they are experiencing some decline. Stage 3: Early disease which may show effects in demanding situations. Stage 4: Mild disease, in which the person requires some assistance with complicated tasks.
The main distinctions between mild cognitive impairment and mild dementia are that in the latter, more than one cognitive domain is involved and substantial interference with daily life is evident. The diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment and mild dementia is based mainly on the history and cognitive examination.
Alzheimer's disease, one of the most common cognitive disorders, affects approximately 5.1 million Americans.
A few commons signs of cognitive impairment include the following: Memory loss. Frequently asking the same question or repeating the same story over and over. Not recognizing familiar people and places.
Dyslexia. Dyslexia is the most common form of language-based learning disability. Approximately fifteen to twenty percent of the population has some form of language-based learning disability. Dyslexia is primarily a reading disability, and there is evidence suggesting that Dyslexia is a condition that is inherited.
Signs that you may be experiencing cognitive decline include: Forgetting appointments and dates. Forgetting recent conversations and events. Feeling increasingly overwhelmed by making decisions and plans.
For patients without a related medical condition or language deficit, consider ICD-10-CM code F88 (other disorders of psychological development). Informal descriptions for F88 include "cognitive developmental delay."
Effective January 1, 2020, CPT code 97127 (cognitive function intervention, per day) and Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) code G0515 are deleted and replaced with two new timed codes: a base code for the initial 15 minutes of cognitive function intervention ( 97129) and an add-on code for each additional 15 minutes ( 97130 ). For more on these changes, see New and Revised CPT Codes for 2020. Use ASHA’s template letter [DOC] to help educate your payers regarding the new codes.
The R41.84- series of ICD-10-CM codes is most commonly used to report cognitive deficits following TBI and includes specific codes for attention and concentration, cognitive communication , and frontal lobe and executive function deficits. Report this series of codes in conjunction with the S06- series to describe the type of TBI giving rise to the cognitive deficits. SLPs should always consult the medical record or referring physician to confirm the appropriate code to describe the type of TBI.
Use the I69- series of ICD-10-CM codes to report cognitive deficits following cerebrovascular disease. Each category of cerebrovascular disease—nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage, other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, other cerebrovascular diseases, unspecified cerebrovascular diseases—includes codes for specific cognitive deficits, including memory, attention and concentration, frontal lobe and executive function, and cognitive-social deficits. The I69- series of codes is one of the few used by SLPs that incorporate both the medical diagnosis and treating diagnosis in one category. SLPs should always consult the medical record or referring physician to confirm the type of cerebrovascular disease before selecting an I69- code.
For patients with a neurological or medical diagnosis other than TBI or stroke, such as epilepsy, brain cancer, autism spectrum disorder, or a neurodegenerative disease, SLPs may report R48.8 (other symbolic dysfunctions).
CPT codes 97129 and 97130 are time-based codes. 97129 represents the first 15 minutes of treatment and can only be billed once per day. Bill 97130 in conjunction with 97129 for each additional 15 minutes of therapy. As an add-on code, 97130 must always be billed in conjunction with 97129 for each additional 15 minutes of therapy, when appropriate. 97130 may not be billed as a stand-alone code.
Private Insurance. Like Medicaid, each private insurance plan can decide whether they will reimburse for cognitive therapy services. It is common for insurance plans to limit coverage to cognitive therapy for deficits due to specific medical conditions (e.g., moderate to severe TBI, stroke, or encephalopathy).
