ICD-10 Code F10.939 – Alcohol use, unspecified with withdrawal, unspecified (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F10.939 – Alcohol use, unspecified with withdrawal, unspecified
What it is
F10.939 identifies alcohol use disorder, unspecified, with withdrawal symptoms, when the record does not specify the exact withdrawal type. Use it when alcohol-related withdrawal is documented, but details are limited.
Clinical signs
Withdrawal may include tremor, anxiety, sweating, agitation, nausea, insomnia, or other autonomic symptoms. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the clinician documents alcohol use with withdrawal and does not name a more specific withdrawal syndrome. It also fits cases where the chart confirms withdrawal, but the subtype is not stated. Check documentation if dependence, abuse, or intoxication is described instead.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for alcohol intoxication without withdrawal, or for withdrawal from another substance. If the documentation specifies a different alcohol-related disorder, code that condition instead.
Coding tip
Query the provider when alcohol withdrawal is mentioned but the subtype or related alcohol diagnosis is unclear.
