ICD Code F02.80

ICD code F02.80 is used to classify dementia that is associated with other diseases that are categorized elsewhere, where the severity of the dementia is unspecified, and there are no accompanying behavioral disturbances, psychotic disturbances, mood disturbances, or anxiety. This code helps healthcare providers document and track cases of dementia that do not fit into more specific categories, ensuring accurate medical records and facilitating appropriate billing and treatment planning.

1. Presence of Dementia Symptoms: The patient exhibits cognitive decline that interferes with daily functioning, including memory impairment, difficulty with problem-solving, and challenges in planning or organizing tasks.

2. Underlying Disease: The dementia is associated with another medical condition that is classified elsewhere, such as Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, or another neurological disorder.

3. Exclusion of Behavioral Disturbances: The patient does not exhibit significant behavioral disturbances, such as aggression, agitation, or wandering.

4. Absence of Psychotic Symptoms: There are no delusions, hallucinations, or other psychotic symptoms present in the patient.

5. No Mood Disturbance: The patient does not experience significant mood disturbances, such as depression or mania, that are attributable to the dementia.

6. Lack of Anxiety Symptoms: The patient does not display significant anxiety symptoms that are related to the dementia.

7. Unspecified Severity: The severity of the dementia is not specified, meaning it is not clearly categorized as mild, moderate, or severe based on the available clinical information.
