Which MS-DRGs does F10.24 group to?
F10.24 sits in MDC 20 and helps define the logic of 4 MS-DRGs (version 44, FY2027). Which one a stay actually groups to also depends on procedures and secondary diagnoses.

- 895Alcohol, Drug Abuse or Dependence with Rehabilitation Therapymedical
- 896Alcohol, Drug Abuse or Dependence without Rehabilitation Therapy with MCCmedical
- 897Alcohol, Drug Abuse or Dependence without Rehabilitation Therapy without MCCmedical
As a secondary diagnosis, F10.24 is a complication or comorbidity (CC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.

Use additional code — inherited from F10
Report an additional code alongside F10.24 to fully describe the condition. F10.24 is sequenced first.
- code for blood alcohol level, if applicable (Y90.-)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 5
The conditions below are not part of F10.24, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, F10.24 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R99)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from F10.2
The conditions below are not part of F10.24, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, F10.24 and the excluded code may both be reported.
