What This Code Means

Bipolar disorder where the patient is completely symptom-free, and their most recent mood episode was a depressive episode.

Coding Tips

  • Full remission requires documentation that depressive symptoms have fully resolved
  • Note the duration of remission and current treatment regimen to support the full remission status

Clinical Significance

Bipolar disorder in full remission with the most recent episode being depressive indicates complete resolution of the last depressive episode. While clinically stable, the patient remains at risk for future mood episodes and typically continues maintenance therapy. Accurate coding supports continuity of care documentation.

Documentation Requirements

  • Confirmed bipolar disorder diagnosis
  • Most recent episode identified as depressive
  • Full remission with no current mood symptoms documented
  • Maintenance medication regimen
  • Relapse prevention and monitoring plan
