Even though Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder includes 
everything needed for diagnosing a mental disorder, providers still need 
ICD-10 codes. In the United States of America, DSM-5 (Diagnostic and 
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) is the official set of recognized diagnoses 
in mental health. This is because ICD-10 codes are adopted by the Department 
of Health and Human Services (HHS) and are needed for simplifying the 
reporting of diagnoses.

For mental health disorders, all ICD-10 codes start with a single letter and are 
followed by three or more numbers. Some of the commonly used codes in 
diagnoses are clustered as F codes. These are further broken into different 
categories such as F00-F09 for organic, symptomatic disorders, F10-F19 for 
mental and behavioral disorders and F20-F29 for delusional, disorders, 
schizotypal and schizophrenia. Z codes used in mental health disorders are 
codes for factors that influence health status and contact with health services. G 
codes in mental health are used for diseases of the nervous system. 
There are different organizations that maintain DSM-5 as well and ICD-10 codes 
but the diagnostic codes found in DSM-5 are actually ICD-10 codes. DSM-5 
references ICD-10 codes, providing a list of diagnostic criteria for every 
recognized mental disorder. Occasionally, there can be a disconnect between 
the diagnoses in the two sets. This is because ICD-10 and DSM-5 are not strictly 
related. However, revisions are made to DSM-5 periodically so that the 
diagnostic criteria and coding can be better aligned with ICD-10.

Some of the most common ICD-10 codes for mental and behavioral health 
practitioners are:
• F32.0 Major depressive disorder, single episode, mild
• F29 Unspecified psychosis not due to a substance or known physiological 
condition
• F41.9 Anxiety disorder, unspecified

Untrained coders can get easily overwhelmed with the number of different codes 
out there. So in order to avoid denials or delays in payment, many providers 
choose to outsource this service to a third party. By having expert 
billers and coders on board, they can easily get paid on time.
