F52.9 — Unspecified sexual dysfunction not due to a substance or known physiological condition

BillableUnspecified

Is F52.9 billable?

Yes, but F52.9 is an unspecified code. F52.9 is a valid, billable ICD-10-CM code for encounters from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. However, F52.9 is an unspecified or catch-all code. Payers apply additional scrutiny to unspecified codes and many deny them when the medical record supports a more specific option, so check the documentation before selecting F52.9 — the more specific alternatives are listed below.
