What This Code Means

F06.3 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for mood disorder due to known physiological condition. F06.3 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).

Header codes like F06.3 cannot be reported on claims directly, they organize child codes that share clinical context but the actual diagnosis must be coded to the highest level of specificity supported by the documentation. Coders should look at F06.3's child codes and select the one that matches the patient's documented presentation, since payers reject header codes submitted as the primary diagnosis. For risk adjustment workflows, header codes never contribute to a Medicare Advantage member's RAF score on their own; only billable child codes that happen to map to a payment HCC affect risk-adjusted plan payments.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for F06.3 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Excludes 2, Not included here, may code separately

  • mood disorders due to alcohol and other psychoactive substances (F10-F19 with .14, .24, .94)
  • mood disorders, not due to known physiological condition or unspecified (F30-F39)
