F06.7 is the authoritative medical code for Mild neurocognitive disorder due to known physiological condition. This classification is used in medical billing and clinical recording to specify the clinical criteria for mild neurocognitive disorder due to known physiological condition (ICD-10-CM F06.7), ensuring healthcare documentation aligns with 2026 federal coding standards.
Billing Status: NO. This is a clinician non-billable / parent hierarchy grouping in the ICD-10-CM system.
