Can anyone assist me with a code(s) for alcohol induced seizures? Thanks in advance.
The closest code I could find is 780.39 for seizures NOS because I couldn't find anything for alcohol induced.
I would use 780.39, 980.0 with the required E codes and 305.00 (Non-dependent alcohol abuse, unspecified pattern of use) as the additional code.
I'm not in agreement with the 305.00. MD only stated "alcohol induced seizures". I can agree with 980.0 toxic effect of alcohol. I'm also on the fence with the E code (poisoning). Unfortunately, I don't have any other documentation to reference.Why are you not using the 980.0 first? If you look in the guidelines under poisoning thisis the firstlisted code. I agree with the addition ofthe 305.00
