What This Code Means
F65.51 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for sexual masochism. A psychiatric condition where a person experiences sexual arousal primarily from receiving pain, humiliation, or bondage. F65.51 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for mental, behavioral and neurodevelopmental disorders (f01-f99), within the section covering disorders of adult personality and behavior (f60-f69).
F65.51 is a billable ICD-10-CM code, but no current CMS-HCC V28 community payment mapping is shown, 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.
