ICD-10 Code F41.8 – Other specified anxiety disorders (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F41.8 – Other specified anxiety disorders
What it is
F41.8 is used for anxiety disorders that are clearly documented but do not fit a more specific ICD-10 category. It captures other specified presentations of anxiety when the provider names the condition.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common findings may include excessive worry, restlessness, tension, irritability, or related anxiety symptoms that do not meet criteria for a more specific disorder.
When to use this code
Use this code when the clinician documents an anxiety disorder by name and it falls outside the listed specific ICD-10 anxiety diagnoses. It is appropriate when the record supports anxiety symptoms, but the presentation is not otherwise classifiable. Check documentation if the note is vague or incomplete.
Do not use for
Do not use F41.8 when a more specific anxiety diagnosis is documented, such as panic disorder or generalized anxiety disorder. Do not assign it for nonspecific stress, normal worry, or unclear symptoms without provider confirmation.
Coding tip
Code the documented anxiety subtype exactly as stated, and query for clarification if the record does not identify the specific disorder.
