ICD-10 Code F10.93 – Alcohol use, unspecified with withdrawal (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F10.93 – Alcohol use, unspecified with withdrawal
What it is
F10.93 identifies alcohol use, unspecified, with withdrawal symptoms. Use it when the record shows alcohol-related withdrawal but does not specify a more detailed alcohol use disorder.
Clinical signs
Withdrawal may include tremor, anxiety, sweating, insomnia, nausea, or agitation after reduced alcohol intake. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents alcohol use with withdrawal and does not state abuse, dependence, or another specific alcohol-related disorder. It also fits when the note clearly links current withdrawal symptoms to alcohol use. Check documentation if the record is unclear about severity or the exact alcohol diagnosis.
Do not use for
Do not use it for alcohol intoxication, uncomplicated alcohol use, or withdrawal from other substances. If dependence, abuse, or a different alcohol-related condition is documented, code that specific diagnosis instead.
Coding tip
Code the documented alcohol diagnosis first, and confirm that withdrawal is explicitly stated or clearly supported in the note.
