About coding acute in alcoholism drunkenness
The ICD-10-CM code for acute in alcoholism drunkenness is F10.229 (Alcohol dependence with intoxication, unspecified).
Within F10.22, choose F10.229 (unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: uncomplicated (F10.220) and delirium (F10.221).
Use an additional code for blood alcohol level, if applicable (Y90.-).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
