ICD-10 Code F10.15 – Alcohol abuse with alcohol-induced psychotic disorder (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F10.15 – Alcohol abuse with alcohol-induced psychotic disorder
What it is
F10.15 identifies alcohol abuse accompanied by a psychotic disorder caused by alcohol use. Use it when documentation links the psychotic symptoms directly to alcohol abuse.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly reported findings include hallucinations, delusions, or disorganized thinking occurring in the setting of alcohol misuse.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents alcohol abuse with an alcohol-induced psychotic disorder, or clearly states that psychosis is due to alcohol. The record should support both the substance misuse and the psychotic condition. If the note is unclear, check documentation before assigning F10.15.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for alcohol abuse without psychotic features, or for psychosis not linked to alcohol. If the documentation instead supports alcohol dependence, alcohol intoxication, or another substance-related disorder, select the documented condition.
Coding tip
Code the alcohol-related psychotic disorder only when the provider explicitly connects the psychosis to alcohol use.
