how do you code vascular dementia due to Parkinsons? G20 with F01.50 or G20 with F02.80?
is the vascular dementia caused by the parkinsons? or is it a separate etiology? the term vascular leads me to think it is.
Parkinson's dementia is not vascular. Vascular dementia should have a separate cardiovascular dx to support it.
thanks!
