ICD-10 Code F25.0 – Schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F25.0 – Schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type
What it is
F25.0 identifies schizoaffective disorder with bipolar features. It combines psychotic symptoms with mood episodes that include mania, with or without depression.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized thinking, and clear manic symptoms such as elevated or irritable mood and increased activity. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use F25.0 when the record documents schizoaffective disorder and specifies the bipolar type. The diagnosis should show psychotic symptoms occurring with prominent mood episodes, especially mania. If the provider only notes schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or psychosis alone, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for schizophrenia without mood episodes or for bipolar disorder without psychotic features. If the chart does not clearly identify the bipolar type, check documentation.
Coding tip
Code only when the provider explicitly links psychosis and bipolar-type mood symptoms to schizoaffective disorder.
