F10.931 ICD-10-CM Code: Alcohol use, unspecified with withdrawal delirium

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

Inpatient Payment Groups (MS-DRG)

MS-DRGs this diagnosis helps define, as principal or secondary, per the CMS ICD-10-CM/PCS MS-DRG Definitions Manual v43.0, 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 136 — Alcohol Use with Psychotic Complications (supersedes HCC 137, HCC 138, HCC 139)

Other models: CMS-HCC V22 HCC 54

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

Potential MS-DRG Relationships (FY2026)

CC — Complication or Comorbidity. Reported as a secondary diagnosis, this code raises the stay's MS-DRG severity tier — except when the principal diagnosis is one of 458 clinically related codes on its CMS exclusion list.

Named in the grouper logic of 4 MS-DRGs: DRG 894 (MDC 20), DRG 895 (MDC 20), DRG 896 (MDC 20), DRG 897 (MDC 20).

From the CMS MS-DRG Definitions Manual (Appendices B and C). Actual DRG assignment depends on the complete claim.
