ICD-10 Code F10.232 – Alcohol dependence with withdrawal with perceptual disturbance (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F10.232 – Alcohol dependence with withdrawal with perceptual disturbance
What it is
F10.232 identifies alcohol dependence with withdrawal symptoms plus perceptual disturbance, such as hallucinations or altered sensory perception. Use it when the record shows dependence and withdrawal occurring together with these mental status changes.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include alcohol withdrawal symptoms with confusion, hallucinations, or other perceptual disturbances. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the clinician documents alcohol dependence and withdrawal, and also notes perceptual disturbance during the same episode. It fits cases where withdrawal is complicated by hallucinations or similar sensory misperceptions. Check documentation if the record does not clearly link the disturbance to withdrawal.
Do not use for
Do not use it for alcohol dependence without withdrawal, or for withdrawal without perceptual disturbance. Do not assign it when hallucinations are documented from another cause. Check documentation.
Coding tip
Code only when the note clearly ties perceptual disturbance to alcohol withdrawal and dependence.
