What This Code Means
F17.209 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for nicotine dependence, unspecified, with unspecified nicotine-induced disorders. A person dependent on nicotine from an unspecified tobacco source with unspecified health problems related to the nicotine use. F17.209 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for mental, behavioral and neurodevelopmental disorders (f01-f99), within the section covering mental and behavioral disorders due to psychoactive substance use (f10-f19).
F17.209 is a billable ICD-10-CM code, but the current payload does not show a mapping under the CMS-HCC V28 or V24 community payment models, and none under the ESRD, Part D RxHCC, or HHS-HCC models. Do not assign risk adjustment value from this page when no source-backed mapping is shown; verify the applicable model and payment year.
This is a non-specific code; attempt to identify the tobacco type and specific induced disorder for more accurate coding.
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for F17.209 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
