Alcoholism
a primary, chronic disease with genetic, psychosocial, and environmental factors influencing its development and manifestations. the disease is often progressive and fatal. it is characterized by impaired control over drinking, preoccupation with the drug alcohol, use of alcohol despite adverse consequences, and distortions in thinking, most notably denial. each of these symptoms may be continuous or periodic.

Patient EducationClinical
Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD)
For most adults, moderate alcohol use is probably not harmful. Your risk of developing an alcohol use disorder (AUD) depends on how much, how often, and how quickly you drink alcohol. Alcohol misuse means that drinking causes distress and harm. Over time alcohol misuse can increase your risk of AUD.

Questions About F10.250Overview
Is F10.250 (Alcohol dependence with alcohol-induced psychotic disorder) a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report alcohol dependence with alcohol-induced psychotic disorder with delusions on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
What MS-DRG does F10.250 group to?
When alcohol dependence with alcohol-induced psychotic disorder with delusions is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 894, 897, 895, 896, with relative weights from 0.6272 to 1.6610 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
Can F10.250 be reported with a code from F10.1?
Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at F10.2, which applies to F10.250, lists "alcohol abuse (F10.1-)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
Does F10.250 need an additional code?
When the condition applies, yes. The Use Additional Code note at F10, which applies to F10.250, reads: code for blood alcohol level, if applicable (Y90.-). The additional code is reported after F10.250.
What is the ICD-9 equivalent of F10.250?
Under the General Equivalence Mappings, alcohol dependence with alcohol-induced psychotic disorder with delusions converts to ICD-9-CM 291.5 (alcoh psych dis w delus). The mapping is approximate, so confirm the match fits the documentation.
What HCC is F10.250?
F10.250 (alcohol dependence with alcohol-induced psychotic disorder with delusions) maps to CMS-HCC Category 136 (Alcohol Use with Psychotic Complications), commonly written as HCC 136, in the CMS-HCC V28 model used for Medicare Advantage risk adjustment in payment year 2027. It mapped to HCC 54 under the retired V24 model. It also maps in the PACE (CMS-HCC V22), ESRD (V21), and ESRD (V24) models. It does not map to any RxHCC in the Part D prescription drug model.
Does F10.250 risk-adjust for Medicare Advantage payment?
Yes. When documented and reported on a Medicare Advantage encounter, F10.250 adds a risk adjustment factor of about 0.424 to the beneficiary's RAF score for a community, non-dual, aged enrollee (published V28 weights range from 0.297 to 1.181 depending on the payment segment). A more severe related category (HCC 135) supersedes it when both are reported. See the full factor table on the HCC 136 category page.
