F06.7 vs F68.8

F06.7 (Mild neurocognitive disorder due to known physiological condition) compared with F68.8 (Other specified disorders of adult personality and behavior), from the official CMS tabular data. Do not report these codes together: the official tabular list marks them Excludes1.

Can these codes be reported together?

No — do not report together. F06.7 carries an Excludes1 note covering F68.8: “personality change, nonpsychotic (F68.8)”

Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
