Bipolar disorder

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 10 more specific codes instead:

F31.0 Bipolar disorder, current episode hypomanic
F31.1 Bipolar disorder, current episode manic without psychotic features (also a header)
F31.2 Bipolar disorder, current episode manic severe with psychotic features
F31.3 Bipolar disorder, current episode depressed, mild or moderate severity (also a header)
F31.4 Bipolar disorder, current episode depressed, severe, without psychotic features
F31.5 Bipolar disorder, current episode depressed, severe, with psychotic features
F31.6 Bipolar disorder, current episode mixed (also a header)
F31.7 Bipolar disorder, currently in remission (also a header)
F31.8 Other bipolar disorders (also a header)
F31.9 Bipolar disorder, unspecified

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.
