Bipolar disorder, in full remission, most recent episode manic
ICD-10 F31.74 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, in full remission, most recent episode manic.
F31.74 refers to a specific diagnosis of bipolar disorder where the patient is currently in full remission following a manic episode. This means that the individual has experienced a manic episode in the past but is not currently exhibiting any symptoms of mania or depression. Bipolar disorder is characterized by extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). The manic episodes can lead to significant impairment in social and occupational functioning, and the risk of suicide is notably higher during these episodes. In full remission, the patient may have returned to a stable mood state, and treatment often includes mood stabilizers, psychotherapy, and regular monitoring for any recurrence of symptoms. Accurate coding is essential for appropriate treatment planning and insurance reimbursement, as well as for tracking the effectiveness of interventions over time.
