Questions About F31Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for bipolar disorder?

F31 is the ICD-10-CM category for bipolar disorder, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is F31 (Bipolar disorder) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for bipolar disorder, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for bipolar disorder need a more specific code from this category, such as F31.0, F31.10, and F31.11.

Can F31 be reported with a code from F30?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on F31 lists "bipolar disorder, single manic episode (F30.-)". 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).
