Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.

Excludes1 inherited from the categories above F10.24
These are not written on F10.24, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing F10.24 with anything listed here is a denial.
Excludes2 inherited from the categories above F10.24
Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of F10.24, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.
Risk adjustment
F10.24 risk-adjusts. Under the CMS-HCC V28 model it maps to this category:
- HCC 139 Alcohol Use Disorder, Moderate/Severe, or Alcohol Use with Specified Non-Psychotic Complications0.242 RAF
Coefficient shown for the Community Non-dual Aged segment. A higher HCC in the same hierarchy will suppress this one, so capturing it does not always add score.
Medicare coverage
F10.24 is named in 18 Medicare coverage policies — 16 listing it as supporting medical necessity, and 2 listing it as NOT covered. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
