F34

Persistent mood [affective] disorders

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 4 more specific codes instead:

  • F34.0 Cyclothymic disorder
  • F34.1 Dysthymic disorder
  • F34.8 Other persistent mood [affective] disorders (also a header)
  • F34.9 Persistent mood [affective] disorder, unspecified

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.
