This is the second most frequent cause of dementia behind Alzheimer’s disease. ICD-10-CM combines the disease with the behavior. To code vascular dementia without behavioral disturbance, use only the combination code F01.50 Vascular dementia without behavioral disturbance.
In the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index, dementia with Parkinsonism refers to Lewy body dementia (G31.83 Dementia with Lewy bodies). In these cases, the symptoms are similar to Parkinson’s disease, but that is not the patient’s diagnosis. To code diagnosed Parkinson’s disease with dementia, use G20 Parkinson’s disease.

Alzheimer's disease and dementia coding: Per the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index, G30. 9 would be reported first, followed by F02. 81 or F02. 80 to show dementia with or without behavioral disturbances.
However, coders should not code Z91. 81 as a primary diagnosis unless there is no other alternative, as this code is from the “Factors Influencing Health Status and Contact with Health Services,” similar to the V-code section from ICD-9.

When a patient has a history of cerebrovascular disease without any sequelae or late effects, ICD-10 code Z86. 73 should be assigned.
A disabling degenerative disease of the nervous system occurring in middle-aged or older persons and characterized by dementia and failure of memory for recent events, followed by total incapacitation and death. Types of the alzheimer syndrome are differentiated by the age of onset and genetic characteristics.
Dementia in other diseases classified elsewhere with aggressive behavior. Dementia in other diseases classified elsewhere with combative behavior. Dementia in other diseases classified elsewhere with violent behavior. Major neurocognitive disorder in other diseases classified elsewhere with aggressive behavior.
Clinical Information. A brain disorder that usually starts in late middle age or old age and gets worse over time. Symptoms include loss of memory, confusion, difficulty thinking, and changes in language, behavior, and personality. A degenerative disease of the brain characterized by the insidious onset of dementia.
A progressive, neurodegenerative disease characterized by loss of function and death of nerve cells in several areas of the brain leading to loss of cognitive function such as memory and language. Alzheimer's disease (ad) is the most common form of dementia among older people.
Dementia is a brain disorder that seriously affects a person's ability to carry out daily activities . Ad begins slowly. It first involves the parts of the brain that control thought, memory and language. People with ad may have trouble remembering things that happened recently or names of people they know. A related problem, mild cognitive impairment (mci), causes more memory problems than normal for people of the same age. Many, but not all, people with mci will develop ad. In ad, over time, symptoms get worse. People may not recognize family members or have trouble speaking, reading or writing. They may forget how to brush their teeth or comb their hair. Later on, they may become anxious or aggressive, or wander away from home. Eventually, they need total care. This can cause great stress for family members who must care for them. Ad usually begins after age 60. The risk goes up as you get older. Your risk is also higher if a family member has had the disease. No treatment can stop the disease. However, some drugs may help keep symptoms from getting worse for a limited time. nih: national institute on aging

Categories Z00-Z99 are provided for occasions when circumstances other than a disease, injury or external cause classifiable to categories A00 -Y89 are recorded as 'diagnoses' or 'problems'. This can arise in two main ways:
The code outside the slanted bracket is coded first, with the code inside the slanted bracket used as a secondary code. The default codes are G30.9 and F02.80: the first code is for Alzheimer’s disease, while the second provides the detail that no behavioral disturbance is noted. If there is behavioral disturbance, then the second code would be F02.81.
There is one more option in the G30 category, which is G30.8 (other Alzheimer’s disease). One condition coded in this subcategory is atypical dementia. It should also be mentioned that senile degeneration is not the same as Alzheimer’s disease, which is evidenced by the exclusion under the code for senile degeneration (G31.1).
The G30 category has an instructional note that reads, “use additional code to identify delirium, if applicable; dementia with behavioral disturbance; or dementia without behavioral disturbance.” The behavioral disturbance (F02.8-) is the second code in the slanted bracket combination. The code for dementia with behavioral disturbance is a complication/comorbid condition (CC) and can impact MS-DRGs. All of these conditions are found among the Hierarchical Condition Categories, or HCCs, which impact payment for managed care or Medicare Advantage beneficiaries.
The late President Ronald Reagan designated November as National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month in 1983 in order to help fight the dreaded condition. As Baby Boomers age, more people will be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.
The response was that dementia is inherent in Alzheimer’s, so specific documentation of dementia is not needed for code assignment.
From the clinical documentation improvement perspective, Alzheimer’s can be further specified as early onset (G30.0) or late onset (G30.1). The early onset is also known as presenile dementia, and it is usually diagnosed before the age of 65. Late onset is known also as senile dementia.
The ICD10 code for the diagnosis "Alzheimer's disease" is "G30". G30 is NOT a 'valid' or 'billable' ICD10 code. Please select a more specific diagnosis below.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code Z74.3 and a single ICD9 code, V60.89 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
These codes include Alzheimer’s dementia senile and presenile forms, but do not include dementia with or without behavioral disturbance, which is coded separately. G30.0 Alzheimer’s disease with early onset. G30.1 Alzheimer’s disease with late onset.
Moderate: During the moderate stage of Alzheimer’s, damage occurs in brain areas that control language, conscious thought, and reasoning. The individual may not recognize family members or friends, and may become frustrated or irrational. Severe: An individual with severe Alzheimer’s likely is completely dependent on others for care.
Alzheimer’s disease, named after the physician Alois Alzheimer, is the most common cause of dementia among older people. It is a progressive brain disease that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills. Individuals with advanced Alzheimer’s must depend completely on others for daily living or basic activities.
To diagnose Alzheimer’s, the provider may ask the patient about their overall health, their ability to carry out daily activities, and whether there are changes in behavior and personality. The provider may test the individual’s memory and counting and problems solving skills.
There are three stages of the disease: mild, moderate, and severe: Mild: Signs of mild Alzheimer’s include memory loss or memory problems, word finding, vision issues, and impaired reasoning or judgment. Individuals may become lost in familiar places, or take longer to perform normal, daily tasks. Most people are diagnosed during this early stage.
Alzheimer’s causes abnormal protein deposits that form plaques and tangles, which damage the brain and cause neurons to work less efficiently. It is irreversible. In time, the affected neurons die off and failing brain functions cause other body systems to shut down. There are three stages of the disease: mild, moderate, and severe:
There are treatments for Alzheimer’s, but no cure. Medications can help maintain thinking, memory, and speaking skills and help with behavioral problems. They will not stop the disease — just help the person going through the process of the disease.#N#Caregivers and family members of Alzheimer’s patients must know the process of this disease and the issues it causes, so they can understand a person who at times feels lost. Compassion is necessary, and becoming well informed about the disease is critical. Twenty-five years ago, scientists knew very little about Alzheimer’s, and since have made great advances in research and understanding the progressive disease.
There are two more codes that deserve attention. The first code is for delirium due to a known physiological condition, F05 De lirium due to known physiological condition. Although individuals with dementia may have delusions or hallucinations, delirium is frequently due to infection (often, a urinary tract infection), medication mismanagement, etc. It should not be considered a symptom of dementia unless the provider documents it as such.#N#The second code is for wandering, Z91.83 Wandering in diseases classified elsewhere. Wandering is one of the most dangerous symptoms for patients with dementia. The Alzheimer’s Association reports that six in 10 people (60 percent) with dementia will wander at some point. Be sure to code this behavior if documented in the medical record. Wandering is a warning to caregivers and medical providers that the individual is at high risk for injury and situations that may result in death. Measures that may need to be taken, including additional caregiving staff, relocation to a monitored living setting, etc., depend on documentation in the medical record and proper coding.
ICD-10-CM combines the disease with the behavior. To code vascular dementia without behavioral disturbance, use only the combination code F01.50 Vascular dementia without behavioral disturbance. For vascular dementia with behavioral disturbance, use only the combination code F01.51 Vascular dementia with behavioral disturbance.
Frontotemporal Dementia. Frontotemporal dementia occurs from damage to the area of the brain behind the forehead. Behavioral disturbances are often coded with this condition because one of the jobs of the frontal lobe is to filter words and actions so they are socially acceptable.
The second code is for wandering, Z91.83 Wandering in diseases classified elsewhere. Wandering is one of the most dangerous symptoms for patients with dementia. The Alzheimer’s Association reports that six in 10 people (60 percent) with dementia will wander at some point.
Alcoholic dementia combination codes distinguish between alcohol dependence and alcohol use: F10.27 Alcohol dependence with alcohol-induced persisting dementia and F10.97 Alcohol use, unspecified, with alcohol-induced persisting dementia. Query the provider if the documentation is unclear whether the individual should be coded as having dependence or use. If the documentation includes a blood alcohol level, report the appropriate Y90.- Evidence of alcohol involvement determined by blood alcohol level … external cause code, as well.
ICD-10-CM provides codes for memory loss without a dementia, as well. First, know that a certain amount of memory loss is a normal part of aging and is not a disease process. This is determined by whether the memory loss is about equal to people of the same age, or if it is significantly more.#N#For those who share about the same amount of forgetfulness as everyone else their age, use R41.81 Age-related cognitive decline. For patients experiencing more decline than is expected for their age, and if the provider specifically documents “mild cognitive dementia,” use G31.84 Mild cognitive impairment, so stated. This diagnosis carries a lot of emotional weight and potential impact to a patient’s life decisions. If you have doubt about the correct code, query the provider.
To code diagnosed Parkinson’s disease with dementia, use G20 Parkinson’s disease. Also use a secondary code for “without behavioral disturbance” (F02.80) or “with behavioral disturbance” (F02.81). Query the provider if the documentation is not clear enough for you to make a determination.
