Alcohol use, unsp w alcohol-induced psychotic disorder, unsp

This code signifies a patient presenting with an alcohol use disorder of unspecified severity, accompanied by an alcohol-induced psychotic disorder. The psychotic symptoms, such as hallucinations or delusions, are directly attributable to the effects of alcohol. The specific type of alcohol use disorder (e.g., mild, moderate, severe) and the specific type of alcohol-induced psychotic disorder are not documented.

This code is appropriate when a patient exhibits symptoms of a psychotic disorder clearly linked to alcohol consumption, but the medical record lacks specificity regarding the pattern or severity of the alcohol use or the precise nature of the psychotic features. It is used when documentation indicates "alcohol-induced psychosis" without further detail on the alcohol use disorder itself or the specific psychotic manifestation.

• Only use this code when the documentation explicitly states "unspecified" for both the alcohol use and the psychotic disorder.
• Prioritize more specific codes if the documentation allows for classification of the alcohol use disorder (e.g., mild, moderate, severe) or the type of alcohol-induced psychotic disorder.
• Consider sequencing this code after any acute intoxication or withdrawal codes if applicable, as the psychotic disorder may persist beyond acute intoxication.
