ICD-10 Code F10.132 – Alcohol abuse with withdrawal with perceptual disturbance (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F10.132 – Alcohol abuse with withdrawal with perceptual disturbance
What it is
This code identifies alcohol abuse with withdrawal symptoms plus perceptual disturbance, meaning the person is having alcohol-related withdrawal and altered sensory experiences such as illusions or hallucination-like symptoms. Use it when documentation clearly links both conditions.
Clinical signs
Clinical features may include tremor, anxiety, agitation, insomnia, and perceptual changes during withdrawal. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record states alcohol abuse and documents withdrawal with perceptual disturbance. It is appropriate when the provider links the withdrawal symptoms to alcohol use and notes the perceptual component. Check documentation if the chart only describes uncomplicated withdrawal.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for alcohol intoxication, alcohol dependence without withdrawal, or withdrawal without perceptual disturbance. If the provider does not document abuse or the perceptual feature, check documentation.
Coding tip
Code the documented alcohol pattern and the withdrawal complication exactly as stated, and query if the perceptual disturbance is unclear.
