ICD-10 Code F10.11 – Alcohol abuse, in remission (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F10.11 – Alcohol abuse, in remission
What it is
F10.11 identifies a history of alcohol abuse that is currently in remission. Use it when the record shows the disorder is no longer active, but the diagnosis remains clinically relevant.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Notes may describe abstinence, no current misuse, or stable recovery, with prior alcohol-related impairment still documented.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents alcohol abuse in remission and there is no evidence of current active abuse. It may apply during follow-up visits, behavioral health review, or primary care records that confirm past alcohol misuse with remission status. Check documentation if the chart does not clearly state remission.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for active alcohol abuse, dependence, or intoxication. If the note only says alcohol use without abuse or remission status, this code is not appropriate.
Coding tip
Confirm that “in remission” is explicitly documented before assigning F10.11.
