The ICD-10 code for Alcohol dependence with other alcohol-induced disorder is F10.288.
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F10.288 – Alcohol dependence with other alcohol-induced disorder

What it is

This code identifies alcohol dependence when the patient also has another alcohol-induced disorder. Use it when the record shows a dependence pattern and a separate alcohol-related condition, but not one of the more specific alcohol-induced codes.

Clinical signs

Common findings include compulsive alcohol use, tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, and continued drinking despite harm. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for the specific alcohol-induced disorder.

When to use this code

Use F10.288 when the clinician documents alcohol dependence plus another alcohol-induced disorder, such as a psychotic, mood, or sleep-related condition, and the chart does not support a more specific code. Confirm that both conditions are documented and linked to alcohol use.

Choose this code when the record clearly states dependence and another alcohol-induced diagnosis together. If the documentation names a more specific alcohol-induced disorder code, use that code instead.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for alcohol abuse, uncomplicated dependence, or alcohol intoxication alone. Check documentation if the alcohol-induced disorder is specified elsewhere.

Coding tip

Verify that the provider documents both alcohol dependence and the additional alcohol-induced disorder before assigning F10.288.
