F06.32 Diagnosis Code: Mood disorder due to known physiological condition with major depressive-like episode

The F31.10 is an ICD code included in the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM, for short), and it is used to designate “Mood disorder due to known physiological condition with major depressive-like episode.”

A mood disorder is a condition that adversely affects a person’s mood in a way that impacts their everyday life. A person with a mood disorder might be extremely sad and indifferent to almost everything or overly excited and out and about but highly irritable.

In the context of this ICD-10 code, the specific mood disorder isn’t determined yet, but all that we know is that the patient went through a depressive-like episode caused by whatever physiological condition they currently have (e.g., cancer, diabetes, asthma, heart disease, etc.).

Is the F06.32 billable?

Yes, the F06.32 ICD-10 code is billable and can be used to designate a patient for reimbursement purposes.

F06.32 clinical information

Based on the ICD-10 code’s name, we can say that the patient’s physiological condition isn’t the focus, but it is why they currently have a mood disorder. This mood disorder isn’t specified as well, but it is likely to be a Major Depressive Disorder based on a major depressive-like episode they have.

This major depressive-like episode may consist of the following:

• The urge to overeat or there is a lack of wanting to eat
• Oversleeping, or having difficulty sleeping
• Feelings of sadness
• Feelings of emptiness
• Feelings of guilt
• Feelings of worthlessness
• Feelings of meaninglessness
• Listlessness
• Being disinterested in doing anything
• Feeling tired despite not having done anything strenuous both physically and mentally
• Thoughts of self-harm

Since this type of mood disorder results from their current physiological condition, their getting better might depend on whether the condition is curable or not. If they are experiencing depression, their current physiological condition is having a severe negative effect on them. Medication and talk-based therapy should be implemented as part of a treatment plan for the mood disorder.
