What Medicare edits apply to F07.0?
The Medicare Code Editor screens inpatient claims before they are grouped. These edits name F07.0 directly.
CMS will reject this code as the principal diagnosis on an inpatient claim. It describes something other than the condition chiefly responsible for the admission.
Which MS-DRGs does F07.0 group to?
F07.0 sits in MDC 19 and helps define the logic of 1 MS-DRG (version 44, FY2027). Which one a stay actually groups to also depends on procedures and secondary diagnoses.

Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with F07.0 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
Excludes2 — not included here
The conditions below are not part of F07.0, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, F07.0 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- specific personality disorder (F60.-)
Inclusion terms
Alternative wording in documentation that is classified to F07.0.
- Frontal lobe syndrome

Code first — inherited from F07

- the underlying physiological condition
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 5
The conditions below are not part of F07.0, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, F07.0 and the excluded code may both be reported.

F07.0 has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.
Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
Which codes are confused with F07.0?
ICD-10-CM declares these codes mutually exclusive with F07.0 — exactly one of each pair can be correct for a given encounter.
