About coding Drunkenness
The ICD-10-CM code for Drunkenness is F10.129 (Alcohol abuse with intoxication, unspecified). The official index lists 6 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on F10.129.
Within F10.12, choose F10.129 (unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: uncomplicated (F10.120) and delirium (F10.121).
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.
