ICD-10 Code F10.229 – Alcohol dependence with intoxication, unspecified (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F10.229 – Alcohol dependence with intoxication, unspecified
What it is
F10.229 identifies alcohol dependence with current intoxication when the intoxication type is not further specified. Use it when the record shows dependence and intoxication together, but does not document a more specific intoxication state.
Clinical signs
Typical findings may include impaired judgment, slurred speech, poor coordination, or altered behavior related to alcohol use. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents alcohol dependence and intoxication, and no additional detail is given about the intoxication episode. It may apply in emergency, inpatient, or outpatient records if the diagnosis is clearly stated. Check documentation for any more specific alcohol-related code.
Do not use for
Do not use it for alcohol abuse, uncomplicated dependence, or intoxication without dependence. If the chart specifies another alcohol-induced disorder or a different intoxication detail, code that instead.
Coding tip
Look for explicit provider wording linking dependence and intoxication before assigning F10.229.
