Using unspecified codes (e.g., F52.9) when a more specific HSDD diagnosis (acquired/situational) is documented, impacting reimbursement and data accuracy.
Misdiagnosis or unclear documentation differentiating HSDD from other sexual dysfunctions or medical/psychological conditions, leading to coding errors.
Insufficient documentation to support the HSDD diagnosis, including duration, severity, and impact, increasing audit risk and claim denials.
