This code signifies dementia that is a manifestation of another underlying medical condition, such as Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, or HIV. The dementia is present without any specified severity, and importantly, without associated behavioral, psychotic, mood, or anxiety disturbances.

Apply this code when documentation clearly links dementia to a specific, separately classifiable disease, and the patient does not exhibit any of the excluded behavioral or psychological symptoms. The medical record should specify the underlying disease causing the dementia and explicitly state the absence of behavioral, psychotic, mood, or anxiety disturbances.

• Always code the underlying disease first, followed by this dementia code.
• Ensure documentation explicitly negates the presence of behavioral, psychotic, mood, or anxiety disturbances. If any are present, a different F02 subcategory code would be more appropriate.
• Do not use this code if the dementia is primary (e.g., Alzheimer's) or if the underlying disease is not specified.
