Dem in other dis classd elswhr, mild, w/o beh/psych/mood/anx

This code signifies a mild cognitive decline due to another underlying medical condition, where the patient exhibits no significant behavioral, psychotic, mood, or anxiety symptoms. The dementia is secondary to a separate, identifiable disease process.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states mild dementia caused by another specified disease (e.g., Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, HIV) and explicitly rules out any associated behavioral, psychotic, mood, or anxiety disturbances. Supporting documentation should include a diagnosis of the underlying disease and a neurological or psychiatric assessment confirming mild cognitive impairment without these specific disturbances.

• Always sequence the underlying disease causing the dementia first, followed by this code.
• Ensure documentation explicitly negates the presence of behavioral, psychotic, mood, or anxiety disturbances; otherwise, a more specific F02.A- code is warranted.
• Do not use this code for unspecified dementia or dementia due to Alzheimer's disease; those have their own distinct code categories.
