F31: Bipolar disorder

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

F31 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for bipolar disorder. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes1: never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

  • bipolar disorder, single manic episode (F30.-)
  • major depressive disorder, single episode (F32.-)
  • major depressive disorder, recurrent (F33.-)

Excludes2: not included here, but may coexist

The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.
