Manic episode in full remission

This code signifies a current or most recent manic episode that has fully resolved, meaning the patient is currently asymptomatic. It indicates a complete absence of manic symptoms following a previously diagnosed manic episode. The individual is not experiencing any residual or subthreshold manic symptoms.

Use this code when documentation clearly states a patient has a history of a manic episode and is currently in full remission, with no active symptoms. This applies to patients who have achieved a complete return to their baseline functioning after a manic episode. Supporting documentation should explicitly state "full remission" or similar language indicating complete symptom resolution.

• Do not use this code if any manic symptoms, even mild ones, are present; instead, consider codes for partial remission or unspecified.
• Ensure documentation specifies "full remission" to differentiate from "in remission, unspecified."
• This code is typically used as a secondary diagnosis when another mental health condition is active, or as a primary diagnosis for follow-up appointments when the patient is stable.
