Codes from this section have an excludes 1 note stating 'symptoms and signs constituting part of a pattern of mental disorder (F01 - F99)'
For instance - the patient has Borderline intellectual functioning (R41.83); and Depression - F32.9. The Provider does not state one is part of the other.
So in this scenario I would only code whichever one the Provider listed as the primary Dx, correct?
Thanks for any feedback!
