About coding alcohol use disorder
The ICD-10-CM code for alcohol use disorder is F10.20 (Alcohol dependence, uncomplicated). The official index lists 57 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on F10.20.
It is also searched as alcoholism.
Within F10.2 (alcohol dependence), F10.20 is specifically for alcohol dependence, uncomplicated. Related codes cover in remission (F10.21), with intoxication (F10.22), with withdrawal (F10.23), 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.
Use an additional code for blood alcohol level, if applicable (Y90.-).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
