Dem in other dis classd elswhr, moderate, with psych disturb

This code signifies a moderate level of dementia that is a manifestation of another underlying medical condition, rather than a primary neurodegenerative disorder. The patient exhibits significant cognitive decline impacting daily activities, accompanied by psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations or delusions.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates moderate dementia secondary to a specified medical condition (e.g., Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, HIV disease) and the presence of psychotic features. Ensure the physician explicitly links the dementia to the underlying disease and specifies the severity as moderate.

• Always code the underlying medical condition first, followed by this dementia code.
• Confirm the documentation specifies "moderate" severity and the presence of "psychotic disturbance."
• Distinguish from F02.B1 (mild) or F02.B3 (severe) based on the physician's assessment of functional impairment.
