About coding delirium tremens impending
The ICD-10-CM code for delirium tremens impending is F10.239 (Alcohol dependence with withdrawal, unspecified).
Within F10.23, choose F10.239 (unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: uncomplicated (F10.230), delirium (F10.231) and with perceptual disturbance (F10.232).
Use an additional code for blood alcohol level, if applicable (Y90.-).
As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.
