F10.23Alcohol dependence with withdrawal

F10.23 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for alcohol dependence with withdrawal. It belongs to category F10 (alcohol related disorders), block F10-F19 (mental and behavioral disorders due to psychoactive substance use) and chapter 5 (mental, Behavioral and Neurodevelopmental disorders). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 4 subcodes must be used instead.

Within F10.2 (alcohol dependence), F10.23 is specifically for alcohol dependence with withdrawal. Related codes cover uncomplicated (F10.20), in remission (F10.21), with intoxication (F10.22), with alcohol-induced mood disorder (F10.24), with alcohol-induced psychotic disorder (F10.25), with alcohol-induced persisting amnestic disorder (F10.26), with alcohol-induced persisting dementia (F10.27), with other alcohol-induced disorders (F10.28) and 1 more.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: F10.230 (uncomplicated), F10.231 (delirium), F10.232 (with perceptual disturbance) and F10.239 (unspecified).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of F10.23, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: Alcohol dependence with intoxication (F10.22-).

Use an additional code for blood alcohol level, if applicable (Y90.-).
