0.000What This Code Means
Bipolar disorder where the patient is completely symptom-free, and their most recent mood episode was a period of abnormally elevated mood (hypomanic episode).
Coding Tips
- •Full remission means no current symptoms; document the timeline of symptom resolution in the medical record
- •Specify the most recent episode type to differentiate from other bipolar remission codes
Clinical Significance
Bipolar disorder in full remission with the most recent episode being hypomanic indicates complete symptom resolution from the last hypomanic episode. While the patient is stable, continued coding reflects the chronic nature of bipolar disorder and the need for ongoing medication management and monitoring. Full remission does not mean the condition is resolved.
