This category applies to presentations in which symptoms characteristic of a mental dis- order due to another medical condition that cause clinically significant distress or impair— ment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning predominate but do not meet the full criteria for any specific mental disorder attributable to another medical condition. The other specified mental disorder due to another medical condition category is used in situations in which the clinician chooses to communicate the specific reason that the presentation does not meet the criteria for any specific mental disorder attributable to another medical condition. This is done by recording the name of the disorder, with the specific etiological medical condition inserted in place of “another medical condition," fol- lowed by the specific symptomatic manifestation that does not meet the criteria for any specific mental disorder due to another medical condition. Furthermore, the diagnostic code for the specific medical condition must be listed immediately before the code for the other specified mental disorder due to another medical condition. For example, dissocia- tive symptoms due to complex partial seizures would be coded and recorded as 345.40 (640.209), complex partial seizures 294.8 (F06.8) other specified mental disorder due to complex partial seizures, dissociative symptoms.
An example of a presentation that can be specified using the “other specified" desig- nation is the following:
Dissociative symptoms: This includes symptoms occurring, for example, in the con- text of complex partial seizures.
Due to Another Medical Condition 294.9 (F09)
This category applies to presentations in which symptoms characteristic of a mental dis- order due to another medical condition that cause clinically significant distress or impair- ment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning predominate but do not meet the full criteria for any specific mental disorder due to another medical condition.
The unspecified mental disorder due to another medical condition category is used in sit- uations in which the clinician chooses not to specify the reason that the criteria are not met for a specific mental disorder due to another medical condition, and includes presentations for which there is insufficient information to make a more specific diagnosis (e.g., in emer- gency room settings). This is done by recording the name of the disorder, with the specific etiological medical condition inserted in place of “another medical condition." Furthermore, the diagnostic code for the specific medical condition must be listed immediately before the code for the unspecified mental disorder due to another medical condition. For exam- ple, dissociative symptoms due to complex partial seizures would be coded and recorded as 345.40 (640.209) complex partial seizures, 294.9 (F069) unspecified mental disorder due to complex partial seizures.
300.9 (F99)
This category applies to presentations in which symptoms characteristic of a mental dis- order that cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational. or oth- er important areas of functioning predominate but do not meet the full criteria for any specific mental disorder. The other specified mental disorder category is used in situations in which the clinician chooses to communicate the specific reason that the presentation does not meet the criteria for any specific mental disorder. This is done by recording "other specified mental disorder” followed by the specific reason.
