ICD-10-CM
ICD-10 code for Dementia (degenerative (primary)) (persisting) (unspecified severity) (without behavioral disturbance, psychotic disturbance, mood disturbance, and anxiety) frontotemporal: G31.09
The ICD-10-CM index points "Dementia (degenerative (primary)) (persisting) (unspecified severity) (without behavioral disturbance, psychotic disturbance, mood disturbance, and anxiety) frontotemporal" to G31.09, Other frontotemporal neurocognitive disorder. G31.09 is a billable code. The index also gives F02.80 (Dementia in other diseases classified elsewhere, unspecified severity, without behavioral disturbance, psychotic disturbance, mood disturbance, and anxiety) for the manifestation, the problem the disease causes. Report G31.09 first, then F02.80.
