In ICD-10-CM, the codes for eating disorders are not assigned when the conditions are present due to a mental disorder classified elsewhere or are of organic origin.ĭementia is the manifestation of many diseases, the most prevalent being Alzheimer’s disease. Organic mental or behavioral disorders are caused by a physiological condition such as disease or injury therefore, the codes in this section will require the documentation of the underlying physiological condition. ICD-10-CM has included terminology in regard to the term “disorder” which will be used in the classification in lieu of the current terms “disease” or “illness.” According to Contexo Media’s Best Practices for ICD-10-CM Documentation and Compliance, “disorder” is described as a “clinically recognizable set of symptoms or behaviors which are, in most cases, associated with interference with personal function and distress.” Some of these are nonorganic sleep disorders, eating disorders, and sexual dysfunctions, and in ICD-10-CM they are classified together and described in greater detail than in ICD-9-CM. There are several mental disorders and behavioral syndromes directly caused by physiological dysfunction and hormonal imbalances. In accordance with grouping disorders with a common theme together, affective disorders have been reclassified in ICD-10-CM.
