ICD-10 Code F10.188 – Alcohol abuse with other alcohol-induced disorder (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F10.188 – Alcohol abuse with other alcohol-induced disorder
What it is
Use this code when the record documents alcohol abuse along with another alcohol-induced disorder that is not separately classified elsewhere. It captures harmful alcohol use with a specified alcohol-related condition.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly, you may see evidence of problematic alcohol use plus a documented alcohol-induced disorder such as a mental, neurologic, or other related condition.
When to use this code
Assign F10.188 when the provider clearly links alcohol abuse to another alcohol-induced disorder in the assessment or diagnosis. Use it when the record supports both the abuse pattern and the additional alcohol-related condition. Check documentation if the exact disorder is not named.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for alcohol dependence, uncomplicated alcohol abuse, or alcohol intoxication without the additional alcohol-induced disorder. If the chart does not specify the related disorder, do not assume it.
Coding tip
Verify the provider’s wording and code the alcohol-induced condition only when it is explicitly documented.
