ICD-10 Code F41 – Other anxiety disorders (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F41 – Other anxiety disorders
What it is
Use F41 for anxiety disorders that do not fit a more specific ICD-10 category. It covers clinically significant anxiety problems documented as “other” or unspecified within the anxiety disorder group.
Clinical signs
Patients may report excessive worry, nervousness, restlessness, or panic-like symptoms. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation and confirm that the record supports an anxiety disorder diagnosis.
When to use this code
Use this code when the clinician documents an anxiety disorder but does not name a more specific subtype. It is also appropriate when the chart clearly supports anxiety symptoms and the exact disorder is not further defined. Check documentation before assigning it.
Do not use for
Do not use F41 when the record identifies a more specific anxiety diagnosis, such as panic disorder or generalized anxiety disorder. Do not use it for normal stress reactions or transient nervousness without a documented disorder.
Coding tip
Before coding F41, look for the most specific anxiety diagnosis available in the note.
