ICD-10 Code F52.8 – Other sexual dysfunction not due to a substance or known physiological condition (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F52.8 – Other sexual dysfunction not due to a substance or known physiological condition
What it is
Use this code for a sexual dysfunction that does not fit a more specific category and is not caused by a substance or a known physiological condition. It covers problems with sexual response, desire, or function when documentation supports another specified dysfunction.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. You may see persistent problems with sexual function, distress, or impaired sexual response that are not better explained by medication use, a medical disorder, or another defined diagnosis.
When to use this code
Assign this code when the provider documents an “other” sexual dysfunction and excludes substance-related or physiologic causes. Use it for cases where the record supports a sexual dysfunction diagnosis but does not name a more specific F52 code. Check documentation for the exact wording.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for dysfunction caused by drugs, alcohol, or a known medical condition. Also avoid it when the chart supports a more specific sexual dysfunction code.
Coding tip
Code only when the provider clearly documents a non-substance, non-physiologic sexual dysfunction and no more specific diagnosis applies.
