What Alcoholism ICD Codes Can I Use?
If you’re looking for Alcoholism ICD codes to use, you’ll be spoiled for choice because there’s a lot to pick from. To give you an idea of what you can choose from, we’ve selected six examples:
- F10.20 - Alcohol dependence, uncomplicated
This ICD-10 code is meant for a patient dependent on alcohol, and their dependence doesn’t come with complications. If their dependence comes with complications, please pick specific ICD-10 codes based on complications such as alcohol-induced psychotic disorder, withdrawal, withdrawal delirium, intoxication, etc.
- F10.21 - Alcohol dependence, in remission
This ICD-10 code is meant for a patient dependent on alcohol but is now in remission, meaning their dependence symptoms have reduced. They are slowly disappearing over time, their symptoms are completely gone, and they’ve recovered.
- F10.10 - Alcohol abuse, uncomplicated
This is similar to Item 1, but this time, it’s for alcohol abuse.
- F10.11 - Alcohol abuse, in remission
This is similar to Item 2, but this time, it’s for alcohol abuse.
- Z63.72 - Alcoholism and drug addiction in family
This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to have a family history of alcoholism and drug addiction in their family. The patient isn’t necessarily an alcoholic or drug addict, but their family history puts them at risk of becoming an alcoholic and/or drug addict.
- Z81.1 - Family history of alcohol abuse and dependence
This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to have a family history of alcohol abuse and/or dependence. Like with Item 5, the patient doesn’t necessarily have to be dependent on or abusing alcohol.
