Other dissociative and conversion disorders

This code represents dissociative or conversion disorders that do not fit into more specific categories. These conditions involve a disruption in the integrated functions of consciousness, memory, identity, emotion, perception, body representation, motor control, or behavior, or neurological symptoms incompatible with recognized neurological or medical conditions.

Use this code when a patient presents with dissociative or conversion symptoms that are not otherwise specified, such as Ganser syndrome, dissociative trance disorder, or other atypical dissociative states. Documentation should clearly describe the dissociative or conversion symptoms and rule out more specific diagnoses like dissociative amnesia, dissociative identity disorder, or specific conversion disorders.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "other" or "unspecified" if a more specific dissociative or conversion disorder cannot be identified.
• Differentiate from F44.9 (Dissociative and conversion disorder, unspecified) which is used when no further detail is provided.
• Always review the medical record for any underlying medical conditions that might explain the symptoms before assigning a dissociative or conversion disorder code.
