Opioid depend w opioid-induc psychotic disorder w hallucin

This code signifies a patient diagnosed with a chronic, compulsive need for opioids, accompanied by a mental disorder characterized by a loss of contact with reality, specifically involving sensory perceptions like seeing or hearing things that aren't there. The psychotic symptoms are directly attributable to opioid use.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates opioid dependence and a co-occurring psychotic disorder with hallucinations, where the psychosis is determined to be opioid-induced. This typically requires a psychiatric evaluation confirming both the dependence and the causal link between opioid use and the hallucinatory symptoms.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "with hallucinations" to differentiate from other opioid-induced psychotic disorders.
• Sequence this code as the primary diagnosis when the opioid dependence and associated psychosis are the focus of treatment.
• Verify that the provider has established a direct causal relationship between opioid use and the psychotic disorder.
