# F10.26 Alcohol dependence with alcohol-induced persisting amnestic disorder

ICD-10-CM · [CMS code reference](#source)

F10.26 covers alcohol dependence with an alcohol-induced persisting amnestic disorder, listed as major neurocognitive disorder, amnestic-confabulatory type, with moderate or severe alcohol use disorder. For the nonamnestic-confabulatory type, use F10.27.

## What to know

## Common questions

### What's the difference between F10.26 and F10.27?

Both are for alcohol dependence with a major neurocognitive disorder the record attributes to alcohol. F10.26 lists the amnestic-confabulatory type, and F10.27 (persisting dementia) lists the nonamnestic-confabulatory type. The type the provider documents decides the code.

### Is F10.26 a billable code?

Yes. F10.26 is a billable ICD-10-CM code in the ICD-10-CM FY2027 (effective October 1, 2026) code set.
