Effective December, Medicare and plans are denying any F43 code (F43.1, F43.23 etc). 

Those codes are not valid any longer here is what is, You can look at ICD10data.com to see what is active and not.

Thanks. I also use that website. It shows F43.10 and F43.23 as active! (The dx in qn is F43.10, not F43.1, sorry for that).

HI, I wonder since F43.10 is an "unspecified" code if it wants a primary code more specific to tell them why he/she has PTSD what was the contributing factor?? interesting.... Medicare doesn't like paying for anything....if you find out why they are denying it please let me know- sorry I couldn't help.
