F06.8 vs R41.3
F06.8 (Other specified mental disorders due to known physiological condition) compared with R41.3 (Other amnesia), 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. R41.3 carries an Excludes1 note covering F06.8: “mild memory disturbance due to known physiological condition (F06.8)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
