ICD-10 codes for anxiety
Anxiety coding depends on the documented diagnosis pattern. Generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, adjustment disorder with anxiety, and unspecified anxiety are not interchangeable.
Notat writes the note — and suggests these codes
The same FactsContext™ engine that extracts codes here turns the full consultation into a structured clinical note, with each code tied to the sentence that supports it. You review and sign every note.
Try AI-assisted extraction with visible medical context
Paste a note or record audio. Notat’s FactsContext™ engine extracts the raw clinical facts first, then suggests codes from that context so you can inspect the evidence before using anything.

How to use this tool
1
Paste or dictate a de-identified clinical note — a few sentences is enough.
2
Press Get codes. The coding system is fixed on this page.
3
Review each suggested code and its evidence, then copy the codes you agree with.

Anxiety ICD-10 codes
Start with the primary code, then move to a more specific related code when the documentation supports it.
| Code | Description | System |
|---|---|---|
F41.1 | Generalized anxiety disorder | ICD-10-CM |
F41.9 | Anxiety disorder, unspecified | ICD-10-CM |
F41.0 | Panic disorder without agoraphobia | ICD-10-CM |
F43.22 | Adjustment disorder with anxiety | ICD-10-CM |
F40.10 | Social phobia, unspecified | ICD-10-CM |
How to choose the right code
Use F41.1 when persistent excessive worry and associated symptoms support generalized anxiety disorder. Use F41.0 when discrete panic attacks are the diagnosis, F43.22 when symptoms are tied to an identifiable stressor and documented as adjustment disorder, and F41.9 only when the anxiety disorder is not specified further.
Documentation example
“Six-month history of excessive worry about work and family most days, with poor sleep, muscle tension, and difficulty concentrating. No panic attacks. GAD-7 score 15. Assessment: generalized anxiety disorder; started CBT referral and sertraline discussion.”
Suggested:
Not direct transcript guessing
FactsContext extracts clinical facts first: diagnoses, symptoms, negatives, findings, test results, medications, and plan decisions.
Raw facts stay usable
The clinician can read and reuse the extracted medical context directly, independent of the generated note.
Built for review
AI suggestions are not a substitute for clinician judgment, payer rules, local coding policy, or the official code set.
FAQ
When should I use F41.1 instead of F41.9?
Use F41.1 when the note documents generalized anxiety disorder. F41.9 is for anxiety disorder without enough diagnostic specificity.
How do I code panic attacks?
If the clinician diagnoses panic disorder without agoraphobia, F41.0 is the ICD-10-CM code. Isolated panic symptoms may need different documentation.
Can AI distinguish anxiety diagnoses?
Notat extracts duration, symptom pattern, triggers, and assessment as clinical facts, then suggests codes with the evidence so you can verify the diagnosis before accepting.
