F60.89

HCC Category Mapping

What This Code Means

Personality disorders that do not fit the standard categories but still represent persistent, inflexible patterns of thinking and behavior causing distress or impairment.

Coding Tips

• •Use this code only when a specific personality disorder is documented but does not meet criteria for F60.0-F60.81
• •Include documentation of which personality disorder traits are present and why they don't fit standard categories

Clinical Significance

This code captures personality disorders that are specifically identified by the provider but do not have their own unique ICD-10-CM code, such as passive-aggressive (negativistic) personality disorder, depressive personality disorder, or self-defeating personality disorder. These conditions still represent enduring maladaptive patterns requiring ongoing psychiatric management. Capturing these ensures the patient's complexity of care is properly reflected.

Documentation Requirements

• ✓Provider documentation of the specific personality disorder type (e.g., passive-aggressive, depressive, eccentric)
• ✓Evidence that the condition represents a pervasive, enduring pattern present since early adulthood, not a temporary behavior
• ✓Functional impairment documentation in social, occupational, or personal domains
• ✓Clinical rationale distinguishing the condition from other coded personality disorders and from Axis I conditions
• ✓Active treatment plan addressing the personality disorder
