About coding alcoholic psychosis
The ICD-10-CM code for alcoholic psychosis is F10.959 (Alcohol use, unspecified with alcohol-induced psychotic disorder, unspecified). The official index lists 29 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on F10.959.
Within F10.95, choose F10.959 (unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: with delusions (F10.950) and with hallucinations (F10.951).
Use an additional code for blood alcohol level, if applicable (Y90.-).
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.
