Buddy Documentation Tip

HCC Buddy guidance
Documentation must specify: (1) the dementia type and underlying etiology — F02 codes require a code-first relationship — the underlying condition (e.g., Parkinson disease, Huntington disease, HIV, traumatic brain injury) must be sequenced before the F02 code.
(2) Severity must be clearly stated as severe based on standardized assessment tools such as the Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) scale or Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE).
(3) Document specific agitation behaviors such as pacing, verbal outbursts, combativeness, or resistance to care, including frequency and triggers.
(4) Document the impact on activities of daily living, need for supervision, and current medication management.

Audit Caution

HCC Buddy guidance
Omitting the code-first underlying condition — F02 codes mandate that the causative disease (e.g., G30 for Alzheimer, G20 for Parkinson, B20 for HIV) is sequenced before the dementia code. Coding agitation as a separate behavioral diagnosis (e.g., R45.1) when it is a manifestation of the dementia — the combination code captures both conditions.
Incorrect staging can result in either over- or under-reporting risk, affecting both compliance and reimbursement accuracy. Overlooking the ICD-10-CM guideline requiring that dementia behavioral codes be used as combination codes — do not assign both a dementia code and a separate code for the behavioral/psychiatric manifestation when the combination code exists.

Is F02.C11 an HCC code?

Yes. F02.C11 (Dementia in other diseases classified elsewhere, severe, with agitation) maps to HCC 125, Dementia, Severe under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model, with a source-labeled community non-dual aged reference coefficient of 0.341. Source-labeled code-level coefficients are references, not member totals. Actual contribution depends on complete member context, hierarchy and cleanup rules, interactions, and model year. HCC Buddy's RAF Calculator supports CMS-HCC V28 PY2026 and shows no score unless every required source and calculation check passes. It is billable for payment year 2026.

Coder answer: F02.C11 is billable and maps to V28 HCC 125, Dementia, Severe. Open it in the Code Book for the tabular path, RAF, and MEAT checklist.

These are source-labeled model coefficients, not member totals. A category may still be removed by hierarchy or model cleanup rules. Weights are not directly comparable across models: CMS-HCC V28 and V24 use Community, Non-Dual, Aged; ESRD uses the dialysis continuing-enrollee model; RxHCC is the Part D continuing-enrollee, non-low-income, aged weight (a larger scale than CMS-HCC). ACA/HHS has no single weight — it varies by metal level. Actual per-patient RAF contribution depends on member context, hierarchy and cleanup rules, interactions, and the model year used by the payer. V28 is the CMS-HCC model phased in over payment years 2024–2026; V24 remains available for historical review.

MEAT review for F02.C11

For F02.C11, confirm that the documentation supports the diagnosis and meets the applicable coding, encounter, program and payer requirements. MEAT (Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat) is a review mnemonic, not a universal CMS coding rule.

  • MMonitor: signs, symptoms, disease progression, or lab trending documented in the note
  • EEvaluate: test results, medication response, or physical findings reviewed by the provider
  • AAssess: explicit mention in the assessment or plan with acknowledgment of status
  • TTreat: medication, referral, procedure, therapy, or counseling tied to the diagnosis

What This Code Means

F02.C11 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for dementia in other diseases classified elsewhere, severe, with agitation. Severe dementia caused by another medical condition with agitation as the primary behavioral symptom. F02.C11 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for mental, behavioral and neurodevelopmental disorders (f01-f99), within the section covering mental disorders due to known physiological conditions (f01-f09).

Under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model, F02.C11 maps to Dementia, Severe (HCC 125) with a source-labeled community, non-dual, aged reference coefficient of 0.341. No V24 mapping is shown for F02.C11; use the applicable model and payment year when reviewing the V28 mapping. For CY2026 non-PACE Medicare Advantage, CMS uses 100% of the 2024 CMS-HCC model (V28). PACE uses a separate model blend. Source-labeled code-level coefficients are references, not member totals. Actual contribution depends on complete member context, hierarchy and cleanup rules, interactions, and model year. HCC Buddy's RAF Calculator supports CMS-HCC V28 PY2026 and shows no score unless every required source and calculation check passes.

Always code the underlying disease first, then this dementia code as a secondary diagnosis. For F02.C11, confirm that the documentation supports the diagnosis and meets the applicable coding, encounter, program and payer requirements. MEAT (Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat) is a review mnemonic, not a universal CMS coding rule. When documentation is ambiguous, coders should issue a provider query rather than assume the highest-specificity variant.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for F02.C11 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • Always code the underlying disease first, then this dementia code as a secondary diagnosis
  • Agitation must be documented; if other behavioral symptoms are present, consider F02.C18 instead

Clinical Significance

Dementia in other diseases classified elsewhere, severe, with agitation represents cognitive deterioration secondary to an underlying medical condition, at the severe stage with agitation (e.g., restlessness, pacing, verbal or physical aggression). This code captures the dementia manifestation of systemic or neurological diseases such as Parkinson disease, Lewy body disease, Huntington disease, HIV, or prion disease. Proper identification of both the underlying etiology and the dementia severity with associated symptoms is critical for treatment planning and risk stratification.

Documentation Requirements

  • Documentation must specify: (1) the dementia type and underlying etiology — F02 codes require a code-first relationship — the underlying condition (e.g., Parkinson disease, Huntington disease, HIV, traumatic brain injury) must be sequenced before the F02 code.
  • (2) Severity must be clearly stated as severe based on standardized assessment tools such as the Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) scale or Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE).
  • (3) Document specific agitation behaviors such as pacing, verbal outbursts, combativeness, or resistance to care, including frequency and triggers.
  • (4) Document the impact on activities of daily living, need for supervision, and current medication management.
