What This Code Means

R41 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other symptoms and signs involving cognitive functions and awareness. R41 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (r00-r99), within the section covering symptoms and signs involving cognition, perception, emotional state and behavior (r40-r46).

Header codes like R41 cannot be reported on claims directly; they organize child codes that share clinical context. Coders should select the billable child code that matches the documented presentation and then verify its current source-backed HCC mapping. Do not infer a child code or risk adjustment value from the header alone.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for R41 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Excludes 1, Do NOT code together

  • dissociative [conversion] disorders (F44.-)
  • mild cognitive impairment of uncertain or unknown etiology (G31.84)
