F10.98Alcohol use, unspecified with other alcohol-induced disorders

F10.98 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for alcohol use, unspecified with other alcohol-induced disorders. 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 F10.9, choose F10.98 (with other alcohol-induced disorders) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: uncomplicated (F10.90), in remission (F10.91), with intoxication (F10.92), with withdrawal (F10.93), with alcohol-induced mood disorder (F10.94), with alcohol-induced psychotic disorder (F10.95), with alcohol-induced persisting amnestic disorder (F10.96), with alcohol-induced persisting dementia (F10.97) and 1 more.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: F10.980 (disorder), F10.981 (dysfunction), F10.982 (disorder) and F10.988 (disorder).

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

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
