ICD-10 Code F25.8 – Other schizoaffective disorders (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F25.8 – Other schizoaffective disorders
What it is
F25.8 identifies schizoaffective disorder that does not fit the bipolar or depressive subtype. Use it when documentation confirms a schizoaffective picture but does not specify the mood pattern.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include psychotic symptoms with prominent mood episodes, such as depression or mania, occurring during the illness. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use F25.8 when the clinician documents schizoaffective disorder and indicates an other or unspecified subtype rather than bipolar or depressive type. It may also fit when the record describes mixed mood features without a clearer classification. Check documentation if the subtype is not explicit.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for schizophrenia alone or for mood disorders without psychotic features. If the record specifies bipolar type or depressive type, code those instead.
Coding tip
Verify the exact schizoaffective subtype in the assessment or problem list before assigning F25.8.
