ICD-10 Code F10.180 – Alcohol abuse with alcohol-induced anxiety disorder (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F10.180 – Alcohol abuse with alcohol-induced anxiety disorder
What it is
This code describes alcohol abuse accompanied by anxiety symptoms caused by alcohol use. Use it when the record links the anxiety disorder directly to alcohol, not to another cause.
Clinical signs
Patients may show excessive worry, nervousness, restlessness, or panic-like symptoms associated with alcohol use. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for the provider’s diagnosis of alcohol-induced anxiety disorder.
When to use this code
Use F10.180 when the clinician documents alcohol abuse and specifies an alcohol-induced anxiety disorder. It fits encounters where anxiety is attributed to alcohol use, including current or recent use with clear causal wording. Check documentation if the relationship is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for anxiety disorder unrelated to alcohol, or for alcohol dependence and intoxication without documented abuse. If the record does not specify alcohol-induced anxiety disorder, check documentation.
Coding tip
Assign the code only when the provider clearly links the anxiety disorder to alcohol abuse in the note.
