Manic episode in partial remission

This code signifies a current manic episode where symptoms have partially subsided but are still present to some degree. The individual is no longer in a full-blown manic state, but residual symptoms persist, indicating incomplete recovery. This diagnosis is typically associated with Bipolar I Disorder.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a patient is experiencing a manic episode that has improved but not fully resolved. This would be supported by a psychiatrist's or other mental health professional's assessment noting a reduction in manic symptoms (e.g., decreased grandiosity, less severe flight of ideas, improved sleep) but still meeting criteria for partial remission.

• Ensure documentation specifies "partial remission" for a current manic episode; do not use for full remission or acute episodes.
• Always sequence this code first if it represents the primary reason for the encounter.
• Distinguish from F31.x codes for bipolar disorder, which may be used in conjunction to specify the underlying condition.
