ICD-10 Code F10.988 – Alcohol use, unspecified with other alcohol-induced disorder (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F10.988 – Alcohol use, unspecified with other alcohol-induced disorder
What it is
This code identifies alcohol use, unspecified, when the patient also has another alcohol-induced disorder. Use it when alcohol is linked to a documented condition, but the exact alcohol-related disorder is not otherwise classified.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. You may see behavioral, cognitive, or physical effects attributed to alcohol use, along with a separately documented alcohol-induced disorder.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record states alcohol use, unspecified, and the provider documents another disorder caused by alcohol. It fits cases where the alcohol-related condition is clear, but the exact subtype is not specified. Check documentation for the specific induced disorder and any additional codes needed.
Do not use for
Do not use this code if the chart does not support an alcohol-induced disorder or if a more specific alcohol-related diagnosis is documented. Check documentation when the condition is better captured by another F10 code.
Coding tip
Code the alcohol-induced disorder as documented, and verify whether the unspecified alcohol use code is the correct combination.
