Psychotic disorder with hallucinations due to known physiological condition
ICD-10 F06.0 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of psychotic disorder with hallucinations due to known physiological condition.
F06.0 refers to a psychotic disorder characterized by hallucinations that arise as a direct consequence of a known physiological condition. This can include various organic mental disorders, such as those resulting from neurological diseases, metabolic disorders, or substance-induced conditions. Patients may experience auditory, visual, or tactile hallucinations, which can significantly impair their functioning and quality of life. The underlying physiological condition must be clearly documented, as it is essential for establishing the diagnosis and ensuring appropriate treatment. Common causes include brain injuries, infections, or chronic illnesses that affect brain function. The diagnosis requires a comprehensive evaluation, including a thorough medical history, physical examination, and possibly neuroimaging or laboratory tests to identify the underlying condition. Treatment typically involves addressing the physiological cause, alongside psychiatric interventions to manage the psychotic symptoms.
