About F31.2

F31.2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for bipolar disorder, current episode manic severe with psychotic features. It belongs to category F31 (bipolar disorder), block F30-F39 (mood [affective] disorders) and chapter 5 (mental, Behavioral and Neurodevelopmental disorders). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within F31 (bipolar disorder), F31.2 is specifically for bipolar disorder, current episode manic severe with psychotic features. Related codes cover current episode hypomanic (F31.0), current episode manic without psychotic features (F31.1), current episode depressed, mild or moderate severity (F31.3), current episode depressed, severe, without psychotic features (F31.4), current episode depressed, severe, with psychotic features (F31.5), current episode mixed (F31.6), currently in remission (F31.7), other bipolar disorders (F31.8) and 1 more.

As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 885 (Psychoses, relative weight 1.3901), in MDC 19 (Mental Diseases and Disorders), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

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

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 296.44 (bipolar I disorder, most recent episode (or current) manic, severe, specified as with psychotic behavior).
