Name: Alcohol dependence with intoxication, uncomplicated
Creator: MedCoder.ai

Billing Status: YES. This is a valid, specific, and billable ICD-10-CM reference.

Coding at a Glance

Tabular directives: 2 Excludes1 · 2 Excludes2 · 1 use-additional code
Risk adjustment: CMS-HCC V28: 1 category · CMS-HCC V22 category 55

Inpatient Payment Groups (MS-DRG)

Potential MS-DRG participation — not a DRG assignment.

MS-DRGs this diagnosis helps define, as principal or secondary, per the CMS ICD-10-CM/PCS MS-DRG Definitions Manual v43, Appendix B.

MS-DRG 894 — ALCOHOL, DRUG ABUSE OR DEPENDENCE, LEFT AMA (MDC 20)
MS-DRG 895 — ALCOHOL, DRUG ABUSE OR DEPENDENCE WITH REHABILITATION THERAPY (MDC 20)
MS-DRG 896 — ALCOHOL, DRUG ABUSE OR DEPENDENCE WITHOUT REHABILITATION THERAPY WITH MCC (MDC 20)
MS-DRG 897 — ALCOHOL, DRUG ABUSE OR DEPENDENCE WITHOUT REHABILITATION THERAPY WITHOUT MCC (MDC 20)

A diagnosis appearing in a group's logic does not by itself determine the DRG assigned to a stay; the grouper uses the full claim.

Risk Adjustment (CMS-HCC)

Payment categories this diagnosis maps to under CMS-HCC V28, payment year 2026.

HCC 139 — Alcohol Use Disorder, Moderate/Severe, or Alcohol Use with Specified Non-Psychotic Complications

Other models: CMS-HCC V22 HCC 55

Risk scores depend on the enrollee's full accepted diagnosis set and segment; a category mapping alone does not determine payment.

Coder workflow for F10.220

MedCoder structured workflow — derived from this code’s own official record

Before you code F10.220

F10.220’s title joins a condition with an associated condition or complication. Confirm each component is documented. Where the classification presumes the link through the “with” convention, only a provider statement that the conditions are unrelated defeats it. A combination code is assigned only when it fully identifies the documented conditions; a required second code for the stage, type or manifestation is still reported when the notes ask for it (Guidelines I.B.9, I.A.15).
Guide: Combination codes →
Check the Excludes1 note: if the documentation supports a condition named there, do not simply proceed with F10.220. Excludes1 conditions are not reported together with this code unless the record shows they are unrelated (Guidelines I.A.12.a).
See the official tabular notes

Choose the right path

Does the documentation support a condition named in F10.220’s Excludes1 note?
Yes → Do not simply proceed: review the excluded code. Both are reported only when the record shows the two conditions are unrelated.
No → Continue.
ReviewF10.1, F10.9

Consider F10.220. Then work the Use Additional Code note, and confirm the code is valid for the date of service in the Verify section.

Documentation check

The provider’s diagnostic statement: Codes are assigned from the provider’s documented diagnosis, not from clinical criteria, test values or a medication list (Guidelines I.A.19).
The associated condition or complication: Whether the associated condition the title names is documented; the “with” convention presumes some links, and a provider statement that the conditions are unrelated defeats it (Guidelines I.A.15).
The conditions the Use Additional Code note names: Reported with this code when documented; a conditional instruction (“if applicable”, “if known”) applies only when the record supports it.

Official instructions as workflow

Excludes1 — check before selecting F10.220(2 notes)
Coding workflow: If the documentation supports a condition named in this note, do not simply proceed with F10.220: the two are not reported together. The one exception is when the record shows the two conditions are unrelated to each other.
CompareF10.1, F10.9
See the official tabular notes · Guidelines I.A.12.a
Excludes2 — not part of F10.220(2 notes)
Coding workflow: The conditions named in this note are not included in F10.220. When the record documents both, both may be reported; the note is a boundary, not a prohibition.
CompareF10.23, T51.0
See the official tabular notes · Guidelines I.A.12.b
Use Additional Code — after identifying F10.220(1 note)
Coding workflow: Check whether the documentation supports the additional code(s) the note names, and report them with F10.220 when it does. Where the instruction is conditional (“if applicable”, “if known”), it applies only when the record documents the condition.

Coding decision scenarios

Pattern scenarios for this code’s structure — decision rules, not clinical cases

Documentation: Both the condition F10.220 describes and a condition named in its Excludes1 note are documented for the same encounter.

Coding question: Can both codes be reported?

Path: Review the Excludes1 note and the excluded code, and look for a provider statement on whether the two conditions are related.

Reason: Excludes1 means the two are not coded together; the exception is when the record shows the conditions are unrelated to each other (Guidelines I.A.12.a).

ReviewF10.1, F10.9

Documentation: Only one of the components this code’s title joins is documented.

Coding question: Is F10.220 supported?

Path: Review the code for the documented component on its own.

Reason: A combination code is assigned only when it fully identifies the documented conditions; otherwise the documented component takes its own code (Guidelines I.B.9).

Documentation: A condition the Use Additional Code note names is documented.

Coding question: Is a second code reported with F10.220?

Path: Review the Use Additional Code note and the code it names.

Reason: The additional code is reported when the record documents the condition; a conditional instruction applies only when its condition is met (Guidelines I.A.13).

Indexed Clinical Terms (2)

Official source data — entries quoted as published, in the Index’s own lookup phrasing

Clinical term phrases from the official ICD-10-CM Index to Diseases and Injuries that map to this code. These are alphabetic-index entries shown as the Index writes them — lookup phrasing, not necessarily the wording of a final diagnosis.

Official Coding Guidelines

Official source data — quoted verbatim from the CMS/NCHS Official Guidelines

Verbatim excerpts from the ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting (CMS/NCHS) that govern this code.

Chapter 5: Mental, Behavioral and Neurodevelopmental disorders (F01 – F99)

4) Medical Conditions Due to Psychoactive Substance Use, Abuse and Dependence Medical conditions due to substance use, abuse, and dependence are not classified as substance-induced disorders. Assign the diagnosis code for the medical condition as directed by the Alphabetical Index along with the appropriate psychoactive substance use, abuse or dependence code. For example, for alcoholic pancreatitis due to alcohol dependence, assign the appropriate code from subcategory K85.2, Alcohol induced acute pancreatitis, and the appropriate code from subcategory F10.2, such as code F10.20, Alcohol dependence, uncomplicated. It would not be appropriate to assign code F10.288, Alcohol dependence with other alcohol-induced disorder.

Chapter 5: Mental, Behavioral and Neurodevelopmental disorders (F01 – F99)

1) In Remission Selection of codes describing “in remission” for categories F10-F19, Mental and behavioral disorders due to psychoactive substance use (categories F10-F19 with -.11, -.21, -.91) requires the provider’s clinical judgment and are assigned only on the basis of provider documentation (as defined in the Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting), unless otherwise instructed by the classification.

Chapter 5: Mental, Behavioral and Neurodevelopmental disorders (F01 – F99)

5) Blood Alcohol Level A code from category Y90, Evidence of alcohol involvement determined by blood alcohol level, may be assigned when this information is documented and the patient’s provider has documented a condition classifiable to category F10, Alcohol related disorders. The blood alcohol level does not need to be documented by the patient’s provider in order for it to be coded.

Chapter 15: Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Puerperium (O00-O9A)

1) Alcohol use during pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium Codes under subcategory O99.31, Alcohol use complicating pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium, should be assigned for any pregnancy case when a patient uses alcohol during the pregnancy or postpartum. A secondary code from category F10, Alcohol related disorders, should also be assigned to identify manifestations of the alcohol use.
