What it is

This code identifies alcohol use, not otherwise specified, with a psychotic disorder caused by alcohol and marked by hallucinations. Use it when the hallucinations are attributed to alcohol-related psychosis, not a primary psychiatric condition.

Clinical signs

When to use this code

Use this code when the provider documents unspecified alcohol use together with alcohol-induced psychotic disorder with hallucinations. It fits records that link hallucinations directly to alcohol use or withdrawal-related psychosis. Check documentation if the chart does not clearly connect the psychosis to alcohol.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for hallucinations from a primary psychotic disorder, delirium, or another substance. Do not code it when alcohol involvement is not documented or the diagnosis is only suspected.

Coding tip

Confirm that the record states both unspecified alcohol use and alcohol-induced psychotic disorder with hallucinations before assigning F10.951.
