Dissociative and conversion disorder, unspecified

This code represents a mental health condition characterized by a disruption in the integrated functions of consciousness, memory, identity, emotion, perception, body representation, motor control, or behavior, where the specific type of dissociative or conversion disorder cannot be determined. It encompasses symptoms that are not attributable to a medical condition or substance use and cause significant distress or impairment.

Use this code when documentation indicates a dissociative or conversion disorder, but the specific subtype (e.g., dissociative amnesia, dissociative identity disorder, functional neurological symptom disorder) is not specified by the provider. This code is appropriate when the diagnostic workup is incomplete, or the clinician has not yet made a more precise diagnosis.

• Avoid using this code if a more specific dissociative or conversion disorder diagnosis is documented.
• Query the provider for clarification if a more precise diagnosis is suspected but not explicitly stated.
• This code should be used as a last resort when no other dissociative or conversion disorder code is applicable.
