0.000What This Code Means
This code describes bipolar disorder where the patient has experienced a manic episode that is now improving but not completely resolved. The person still has some symptoms of mania remaining, but they are less severe than during the active episode.
Coding Tips
- •Verify documentation clearly states 'partial remission' and confirms the most recent episode was manic (not depressive or mixed) to ensure accurate code selection
- •Do not use this code if the patient is in full remission; use F31.70 instead, or if symptoms are currently active, select the appropriate active episode code
Clinical Significance
Bipolar disorder in partial remission with the most recent episode being manic indicates recovery from a full manic episode with residual symptoms still present. Partial remission from mania suggests ongoing mood instability and higher risk for relapse into another manic or depressive episode. Close monitoring and medication adherence are critical during this transition period.
Documentation Requirements
- ✓Confirmed bipolar disorder diagnosis
- ✓Most recent episode documented as manic (not hypomanic)
- ✓Partial remission status with residual symptoms described
- ✓Current medication management plan
