ICD-10 Code F10.92 – Alcohol use, unspecified with intoxication (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F10.92 – Alcohol use, unspecified with intoxication
What it is
F10.92 identifies alcohol use, unspecified, with intoxication. Use it when the record documents alcohol intoxication but does not specify a more detailed alcohol-related disorder or complication.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Intoxication may be supported by impaired judgment, slurred speech, unsteady gait, or altered behavior consistent with recent alcohol use.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents alcohol intoxication without naming dependence, abuse, or another specific alcohol-related condition. It also fits when the chart notes intoxication and the type of alcohol-related diagnosis remains unspecified.
Choose the code only if the documentation supports an active intoxicated state, not just a history of drinking. Check documentation when the encounter includes mixed substance use or another clearer diagnosis.
Do not use for
Do not use it for alcohol dependence, abuse, or withdrawal. Do not assign it when the record only shows alcohol use history or a different substance-related disorder.
Coding tip
Confirm that intoxication is explicitly documented and that no more specific alcohol diagnosis is available before assigning F10.92.
