There is a code, 303.01 which is defined as acute alcoholic intoxication, continuous. This confuses me. How can an acute case of alcoholic intoxication be continuous? Then there is 303.92, chronic alcoholism, episodic. If it is chronic, how can it be episodic?
How should these codes be interpreted?
Thank you in advance for any any assistance you can provide.
