F10.91

What This Code Means

This code describes a patient with a history of alcohol use disorder who is currently in remission, meaning they are not actively using alcohol. The specific pattern or severity of their past alcohol use is not documented.

Coding Tips

• •Use this code when documentation indicates the patient is in remission from alcohol use but does not specify whether it was mild, moderate, or severe use disorder
• •Do not use this code if the patient is currently actively using alcohol or if documentation specifies the severity level (mild, moderate, or severe) - use the more specific codes F10.11, F10.21, or F10.91 with appropriate severity instead
