ICD-10 Code F06.7: Mild neurocognitive disorder due to known physiological condition

F06.7 is an ICD-10 diagnosis entry used to group records related to Mild neurocognitive disorder due to known physiological condition. You may see this entry in coding references, medical records, or claims workflows when a broader diagnosis category is being reviewed before a more specific code is chosen. ICD-10 entries help standardize how diagnoses are organized for coding, reporting, analytics, and documentation. This code sits within the broader ICD-10 area for Mental, Behavioral and Neurodevelopmental disorders (F01-F99).

What is this code?

ICD-10 entries help standardize how diagnoses are organized for coding, reporting, analytics, and documentation. This code sits within the broader ICD-10 area for Mental, Behavioral and Neurodevelopmental disorders (F01-F99).

When is it used?

  • May be used when a clinician documents mild neurocognitive disorder due to known physiological condition in a patient's medical record.
  • May appear in hospital records, claims, referrals, and clinical documentation.
  • This code may act more like a grouping or parent code, so a more specific child code may be used in final documentation when available.

What it does not mean

  • A code alone does not explain severity, treatment plan, or outcome.
  • A medical code should not be treated as a substitute for a doctor's diagnosis or advice.
  • This entry may represent a broader category rather than the most specific billable code.
