Bipolar disorder, in full remis, most recent episode manic

This code signifies a patient diagnosed with bipolar disorder who has recently experienced a manic episode but is currently experiencing no signs or symptoms of the disorder. "Full remission" indicates that the patient's symptoms have completely resolved and they are functioning at their baseline level.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states a diagnosis of bipolar disorder with a history of a manic episode, and the patient is currently asymptomatic, indicating full remission. This is typically used for follow-up visits or medication management when the patient is stable.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "full remission" and specifies the "most recent episode manic."
• Do not use this code if any residual symptoms of bipolar disorder are present; instead, choose a code reflecting partial remission or current episode.
• Sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis if the encounter is for a related but non-bipolar-specific reason (e.g., medication refill for a different condition).
