ICD-10 Code F10.950 – Alcohol use, unspecified with alcohol-induced psychotic disorder with delusions (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F10.950 – Alcohol use, unspecified with alcohol-induced psychotic disorder with delusions
What it is
F10.950 identifies alcohol use, unspecified when the patient has an alcohol-induced psychotic disorder with delusions. Use it when the record links the psychosis directly to alcohol use and specifies delusional features.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include fixed false beliefs occurring in the setting of alcohol-related psychosis. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for the exact mental status findings and whether hallucinations, confusion, or other symptoms are present.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents alcohol use, but does not further specify the pattern, and also diagnoses alcohol-induced psychotic disorder with delusions. It is appropriate when the psychotic disorder is attributed to alcohol rather than a primary psychiatric condition. Check documentation if the record does not clearly connect the delusions to alcohol use.
Do not use for
Do not use it for delusions without an alcohol-related psychotic disorder diagnosis, or for psychosis caused by another substance. If alcohol use is specified as abuse, dependence, or remission instead, choose the documented category.
Coding tip
Code the alcohol use pattern exactly as documented, and confirm the provider explicitly links the psychotic disorder to alcohol.
