What it is

This code identifies alcohol use, unspecified when the patient has a psychotic disorder caused by alcohol. Use it when documentation links hallucinations, delusions, or other psychotic symptoms to alcohol use.

Clinical signs

Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly recorded findings include hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thinking, or marked confusion occurring in the setting of alcohol use or withdrawal.

When to use this code

Use this code when the record clearly states alcohol-induced psychotic disorder and does not specify a more detailed alcohol use category. It is appropriate when the provider documents a psychotic disorder attributed to alcohol, even if the exact pattern of alcohol use is not further defined. Check documentation for acute, chronic, or unspecified details.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for alcohol intoxication or withdrawal without psychosis. Also avoid it when psychotic symptoms are due to another substance, a primary psychotic disorder, or another documented medical cause.

Coding tip

Confirm that the provider explicitly connects the psychosis to alcohol use before assigning F10.95.
