ICD-10 Code F10.932 – Alcohol use, unspecified with withdrawal with perceptual disturbance (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F10.932 – Alcohol use, unspecified with withdrawal with perceptual disturbance
What it is
This code identifies alcohol withdrawal in a patient with unspecified alcohol use, plus perceptual disturbance. It means the record shows withdrawal symptoms and altered sensory perception, but the alcohol use pattern is not further specified.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include withdrawal symptoms such as tremor, anxiety, agitation, sweating, and insomnia, along with perceptual disturbance like hallucinations or misperceptions. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents alcohol withdrawal and perceptual disturbance, but does not specify abuse, dependence, or use disorder severity. It also applies when the chart supports withdrawal-related hallucinations or similar sensory changes. Check documentation if the record is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use it if the record documents alcohol intoxication only, without withdrawal. Also avoid it when a more specific alcohol-related diagnosis is clearly stated or when perceptual symptoms are unrelated to withdrawal.
Coding tip
Code the withdrawal and perceptual disturbance only when both are documented together, and confirm that the alcohol use category remains unspecified.
