What changes the schizoaffective disorder code?
The Alphabetic Index lists these qualifiers under Disorder, schizoaffective. If the record documents one of them, the code changes. Verify the code in the Tabular List before reporting it.
What else changes the schizoaffective disorder code?
F25.0 covers the bipolar type, including manic and mixed presentations. Schizoaffective disorder excludes schizophrenia (F20.-) and a mood disorder with psychotic symptoms (F30.2, F31.2, F31.5, F31.64, F32.3, F33.3) — when the criteria for either of those is met, code that instead.
What does the Tabular List say about F25.9?
The instructional notes that govern F25.9, including those it inherits from its category and chapter. An Excludes1 note means the two codes are never reported together.
Inclusion terms
Alternative wording in documentation that is classified to F25.9.
- Schizoaffective psychosis NOS
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from F25
The conditions below can never be reported together with F25.9 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 — inherited from Chapter 5
The conditions below are not part of F25.9, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, F25.9 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R99)
Codes, descriptions and Index entries are from the official ICD-10-CM FY2027 release. Guideline text is quoted from the ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting FY 2027. A code must always be verified in the Tabular List before it is reported. Data sources
