F31 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.

Specific Coding Applicable to Bipolar disorder

Non-specific codes like F31 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for bipolar disorder:

  • Use F31.0 for Bipolar disorder, current episode hypomanic - BILLABLE CODE

  • F31.1 for Bipolar disorder, current episode manic without psychotic features - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F31.10 for Bipolar disorder, current episode manic without psychotic features, unspecified - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F31.11 for Bipolar disorder, current episode manic without psychotic features, mild - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F31.12 for Bipolar disorder, current episode manic without psychotic features, moderate - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F31.13 for Bipolar disorder, current episode manic without psychotic features, severe - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F31.2 for Bipolar disorder, current episode manic severe with psychotic features - BILLABLE CODE

  • F31.3 for Bipolar disorder, current episode depressed, mild or moderate severity - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F31.30 for Bipolar disorder, current episode depressed, mild or moderate severity, unspecified - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F31.31 for Bipolar disorder, current episode depressed, mild - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F31.32 for Bipolar disorder, current episode depressed, moderate - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F31.4 for Bipolar disorder, current episode depressed, severe, without psychotic features - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F31.5 for Bipolar disorder, current episode depressed, severe, with psychotic features - BILLABLE CODE

  • F31.6 for Bipolar disorder, current episode mixed - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F31.60 for Bipolar disorder, current episode mixed, unspecified - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F31.61 for Bipolar disorder, current episode mixed, mild - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F31.62 for Bipolar disorder, current episode mixed, moderate - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F31.63 for Bipolar disorder, current episode mixed, severe, without psychotic features - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F31.64 for Bipolar disorder, current episode mixed, severe, with psychotic features - BILLABLE CODE

  • F31.7 for Bipolar disorder, currently in remission - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F31.70 for Bipolar disorder, currently in remission, most recent episode unspecified - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F31.71 for Bipolar disorder, in partial remission, most recent episode hypomanic - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F31.72 for Bipolar disorder, in full remission, most recent episode hypomanic - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F31.73 for Bipolar disorder, in partial remission, most recent episode manic - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F31.74 for Bipolar disorder, in full remission, most recent episode manic - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F31.75 for Bipolar disorder, in partial remission, most recent episode depressed - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F31.76 for Bipolar disorder, in full remission, most recent episode depressed - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F31.77 for Bipolar disorder, in partial remission, most recent episode mixed - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F31.78 for Bipolar disorder, in full remission, most recent episode mixed - BILLABLE CODE

  • F31.8 for Other bipolar disorders - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F31.81 for Bipolar II disorder - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use F31.89 for Other bipolar disorder - BILLABLE CODE

    a major affective disorder marked by severe mood swings (manic or major depressive episodes) and a tendency to remission and recurrence.

Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries

The following annotation back-references are applicable to this diagnosis code. The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10-CM codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more.


Includes

Includes
This note appears immediately under a three character code title to further define, or give examples of, the content of the category.
  • bipolar I disorder
  • bipolar type I disorder
  • manic-depressive illness
  • manic-depressive psychosis
  • manic-depressive reaction
  • seasonal bipolar disorder

Type 1 Excludes

Type 1 Excludes
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
  • bipolar disorder, single manic episode F30
  • major depressive disorder, single episode F32
  • major depressive disorder, recurrent F33

Type 2 Excludes

Type 2 Excludes
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.

Patient Education


Bipolar disorder

Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition that causes extreme shifts in mood, energy, and behavior. This disorder most often appears in late adolescence or early adulthood, although symptoms can begin at any time of life.

People with bipolar disorder experience both dramatic "highs," called manic episodes, and "lows," called depressive episodes. These episodes can last from hours to weeks, and many people have no symptoms between episodes.

Manic episodes are characterized by increased energy and activity, irritability, restlessness, an inability to sleep, and reckless behavior. Some people with bipolar disorder experience hypomanic episodes, which are similar to but less extreme than manic episodes.

Depressive episodes are marked by low energy and activity, a feeling of hopelessness, and an inability to perform everyday tasks. People with bipolar disorder often have repeated thoughts of death and suicide, and they have a much greater risk of dying by suicide than the general population.

Manic and depressive episodes can include psychotic symptoms, such as false perceptions (hallucinations) or strongly held false beliefs (delusions). Mixed episodes, which have features of manic and depressive episodes at the same time, also occur in some affected individuals.

Bipolar disorder is classified into several types based on the mood changes that occur. Bipolar I involves manic episodes, which can be accompanied by psychotic symptoms, and hypomanic or depressive episodes. Bipolar II involves hypomanic episodes and depressive episodes. Cyclothymic disorder involves hypomanic episodes and depressive episodes that are typically less severe than those in bipolar I or bipolar II.

Bipolar disorder often occurs with other mental health conditions, including anxiety disorders (such as panic attacks), behavioral disorders (such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder), and substance abuse.
