2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F10.151 – Alcohol abuse with alcohol-induced psychotic disorder with hallucinations

What it is

This code identifies alcohol abuse with a psychotic disorder caused by alcohol use, specifically with hallucinations. Use it when the hallucinations are attributed to alcohol rather than a primary psychiatric condition.

Clinical signs

Typical findings include hallucinations occurring in the setting of alcohol abuse, with clinical features consistent with alcohol-induced psychosis. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.

When to use this code

Use this code when the record clearly documents alcohol abuse and a clinician links hallucinations to alcohol use. It is appropriate when the psychotic symptoms are diagnosed as alcohol-induced, not explained by another disorder. Check documentation if the cause or severity is unclear.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for hallucinations without documented alcohol abuse or when a primary psychotic disorder is diagnosed instead. Do not use if the provider does not link the psychosis to alcohol.

Coding tip

Verify both alcohol abuse and the alcohol-induced hallucinations are documented together before assigning F10.151.
