Billable code

Dissociative amnesia

Clinical notes

Excludes1 (not coded here)

An Excludes1 note is a pure exclusion: the excluded condition and this code should never be reported together, because the two conditions cannot occur at the same time (e.g. a congenital form vs. an acquired form of the same disease).

  • amnesia NOS (R41.3)
  • anterograde amnesia (R41.1)
  • dissociative amnesia with dissociative fugue (F44.1)
  • retrograde amnesia (R41.2)

Excludes2 (not included here)

An Excludes2 note means the excluded condition is not part of this one, but a patient can have both at the same time — in that case both codes may be reported together.

  • alcohol-or other psychoactive substance-induced amnestic disorder (F10, F13, F19 with .26, .96)
  • amnestic disorder due to known physiological condition (F04)
  • postictal amnesia in epilepsy (G40.-)
