ICD-10 Code F10.25 – Alcohol dependence with alcohol-induced psychotic disorder (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F10.25 – Alcohol dependence with alcohol-induced psychotic disorder
What it is
F10.25 identifies alcohol dependence with a psychotic disorder caused by alcohol use. Use it when the record shows dependence plus hallucinations, delusions, or other psychotic symptoms linked to alcohol.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include psychosis occurring during or after heavy alcohol use, with impaired reality testing. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents alcohol dependence and an alcohol-induced psychotic disorder, such as alcohol hallucinosis or alcohol-related delusions. Code the condition only when the psychotic disorder is attributed to alcohol, not another substance or a primary psychiatric illness.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for uncomplicated alcohol dependence without psychosis. Avoid it when hallucinations or delusions are better explained by schizophrenia, delirium, or another documented cause.
Coding tip
Match the code to the provider’s explicit linkage between alcohol dependence and psychosis; if the connection is unclear, check documentation.
