ICD-10 Code F10 – Alcohol related disorders (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F10 – Alcohol related disorders
What it is
F10 identifies disorders caused by alcohol use, including dependence, harmful use, and alcohol-induced conditions. Use it when the record documents an alcohol-related mental or behavioral disorder.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common findings may include impaired control over drinking, withdrawal symptoms, intoxication effects, or alcohol-related psychiatric or physical complications.
When to use this code
Use F10 when the clinician documents an alcohol-related disorder and does not provide a more specific subcode. It is appropriate for charted dependence, abuse, intoxication, withdrawal, or alcohol-induced conditions when supported by the record. Check documentation for the exact manifestation and any required additional codes.
Do not use for
Do not use F10 for social drinking without a disorder or for conditions not linked to alcohol. If the chart only says “history of alcohol use” or is unclear, check documentation.
Coding tip
Code the most specific alcohol-related diagnosis documented, and add manifestation or complication codes when the record supports them.
