F64.1 ICD-10-CM Code: Dual role transvestism

Billing Status: YES. This is a valid, specific, and billable ICD-10-CM reference.

Coding at a Glance

Inpatient Payment Groups (MS-DRG)

Potential MS-DRG participation — not a DRG assignment.

MS-DRGs this diagnosis helps define, as principal or secondary, per the CMS ICD-10-CM/PCS MS-DRG Definitions Manual v43, Appendix B.

  • MS-DRG 887 — OTHER MENTAL DISORDER DIAGNOSES (MDC 19)

A diagnosis appearing in a group's logic does not by itself determine the DRG assigned to a stay; the grouper uses the full claim.

Coding instructions

Official Tabular Instructional Notes: the inclusion, exclusion and sequencing notes published for F64.1 in the official ICD-10-CM tabular list, quoted as published.

Source: CMS/CDC — ICD-10-CM Tabular ListRelease: FY2026Effective: October 1, 2025

This page already reflects the FY2027 tabular note taking effect October 1, 2026.

Excludes1 — Not Coded Here

Conditions generally not reported together with this code (Excludes1) -- an error unless the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).

Excludes2 — Not Included Here

Conditions not covered by this code, but which may be reported alongside it when both are present.

Use Additional Code

Supplementary codes the tabular list directs you to add.

  • Use additional code to identify sex reassignment status (Z87.890-)

Coder workflow for F64.1

MedCoder structured workflow — derived from this code’s own official record

Before you code F64.1

  1. Check the Excludes1 note: if the documentation supports a condition named there, do not simply proceed with F64.1. Excludes1 conditions are not reported together with this code unless the record shows they are unrelated (Guidelines I.A.12.a).

    See the official tabular notes

Choose the right path

  1. Does the documentation support a condition named in F64.1’s Excludes1 note?
    Yes → Do not simply proceed: review the excluded code. Both are reported only when the record shows the two conditions are unrelated.
    No → Continue.

    ReviewF64.2

Consider F64.1. Then work the Use Additional Code note, and confirm the code is valid for the date of service in the Verify section.

Documentation check

The provider’s diagnostic statement
Codes are assigned from the provider’s documented diagnosis, not from clinical criteria, test values or a medication list (Guidelines I.A.19).
The conditions the Use Additional Code note names
Reported with this code when documented; a conditional instruction (“if applicable”, “if known”) applies only when the record supports it.

Official instructions as workflow

  • Excludes1 — check before selecting F64.1(1 note)

    Coding workflow: If the documentation supports a condition named in this note, do not simply proceed with F64.1: the two are not reported together. The one exception is when the record shows the two conditions are unrelated to each other.

    CompareF64.2

    See the official tabular notes · Guidelines I.A.12.a

  • Excludes2 — not part of F64.1(1 note)

    Coding workflow: The conditions named in this note are not included in F64.1. When the record documents both, both may be reported; the note is a boundary, not a prohibition.

    CompareF65.1

    See the official tabular notes · Guidelines I.A.12.b

  • Use Additional Code — after identifying F64.1(1 note)

    Coding workflow: Check whether the documentation supports the additional code(s) the note names, and report them with F64.1 when it does. Where the instruction is conditional (“if applicable”, “if known”), it applies only when the record documents the condition.

Coding decision scenarios

Pattern scenarios for this code’s structure — decision rules, not clinical cases

Documentation: Both the condition F64.1 describes and a condition named in its Excludes1 note are documented for the same encounter.

Coding question: Can both codes be reported?

Path: Review the Excludes1 note and the excluded code, and look for a provider statement on whether the two conditions are related.

Reason: Excludes1 means the two are not coded together; the exception is when the record shows the conditions are unrelated to each other (Guidelines I.A.12.a).

ReviewF64.2

Documentation: A condition the Use Additional Code note names is documented.

Coding question: Is a second code reported with F64.1?

Path: Review the Use Additional Code note and the code it names.

Reason: The additional code is reported when the record documents the condition; a conditional instruction applies only when its condition is met (Guidelines I.A.13).

Decision Points

The directives on this code's own record, as a pre-claim checklist.

  1. 1 Use Additional Code instruction — report the named additional code(s) when the documentation supports them. See the Use Additional Code notes
  2. 1 Excludes1 entry — codes named there are generally not reported together with this code (Guidelines I.A.12.a). See the Excludes1 notes
  3. 1 Excludes2 entry — those conditions are not part of this code and may be reported additionally when documented. See the Excludes2 notes

Checklist rows are derived from this code's own official directives; the wording of each check is MedCoder editorial. The official notes themselves are in the sections each row links to.

MS-DRG Grouper Relationships (FY2026)

Potential MS-DRG participation — not a DRG assignment.

FY2026 MS-DRG: not on the CMS CC/MCC list — as a secondary diagnosis this code does not change MS-DRG severity for that release.

Named in the grouper logic of 1 MS-DRG: DRG 887 (MDC 19).

From the CMS MS-DRG Definitions Manual (Appendices B and C). Actual DRG assignment depends on the complete claim.
