- F69 is an unspecified code: use it only when the record doesn't document anything more specific. If the record has more detail, check the other codes under F60-F69 below.
- As a secondary diagnosis it is not a CC or MCC, so it doesn't raise the MS-DRG payment.

- AHRQ's Chronic Condition Indicator classes it as chronic: expected to last 12 months or longer and to limit daily life or need ongoing care.
