Cannabis dependence with unsp cannabis-induced disorder

This code signifies a patient's compulsive and continued use of cannabis despite harmful consequences, coupled with a cannabis-related mental or behavioral disturbance that is not otherwise specified. It indicates a significant impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning due to cannabis use.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states cannabis dependence and mentions a co-occurring cannabis-induced mental health condition (e.g., psychosis, anxiety, mood disorder) without specifying the exact nature of that disorder. This is appropriate when the provider has identified a cannabis-induced disorder but has not provided a more precise diagnosis.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "dependence" and not just "abuse" or "use."
• Only use this code when the specific cannabis-induced disorder is unspecified; otherwise, code to the more precise F12.2x subcategory.
• Review the medical record for any additional mental health diagnoses that may be separately coded if not directly induced by cannabis.
