ICD-10 Code F31.72 – Bipolar disorder, in full remission, most recent episode hypomanic (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F31.72 – Bipolar disorder, in full remission, most recent episode hypomanic
What it is
This code identifies bipolar disorder when the most recent episode was hypomanic and the patient is currently in full remission. Use it when documentation shows the disorder is present but active mood symptoms are not.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. In remission, you should not see current hypomanic symptoms such as elevated mood, increased energy, reduced need for sleep, or marked irritability.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record specifically states bipolar disorder, full remission, and the most recent episode was hypomanic. It is appropriate for follow-up visits, maintenance care, or history review when no current episode is documented. Check documentation if remission status is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use it for active hypomania, mania, depression, or mixed episodes. If the chart does not confirm full remission or the most recent episode type, check documentation before coding.
Coding tip
Code the exact remission status and most recent episode from the provider’s wording, not from assumptions.
