If you have F41.1 memorized then well done! The interviewer won't look down upon you for not having every code memorized but they will scratch their heads if you can't tell them where to find it. Since the ICD-10 is your bible reference it. Even better? Let the interviewer know that you have an up to date cheat sheet of the top 20 codes therapists, psychologists, social workers, and counselors are using.

" There are different codes for various levels of anxiety. I would have to check my ICD-10 to verify your request. My ICD-10 is my go-to for all coding requirements. I always have a copy handy, am very familiar with its layout and have always been able to easily find what I'm looking for."

F41.9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM F41.9 became effective on October 1, 2020. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of F41.9 - other international versions of ICD-10 F41.9 may differ.

Well done! The interviewer will undoubtedly be impressed with your ability to recall the ICD-10-CM code for generalized anxiety disorder. If you have other common codes memorized, or you utilize an up-to-date cheat sheet, let the employer know to further demonstrate your resourcefulness.
