Cannabis use, unsp w psychotic disorder with hallucinations

This code signifies a patient's current or historical use of cannabis, where the specific pattern or severity of use is not documented, and they are also experiencing a psychotic disorder characterized by hallucinations. This indicates a direct or indirect link between cannabis use and the manifestation of hallucinatory symptoms within a psychotic framework.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states cannabis use (without specifying abuse or dependence) in conjunction with a psychotic disorder where hallucinations are a prominent feature. This is appropriate when the clinician has not specified the type of cannabis use disorder (e.g., cannabis abuse, cannabis dependence).

• Ensure documentation explicitly links cannabis use to the psychotic disorder with hallucinations.
• Do not use if the type of cannabis use (e.g., cannabis dependence) is specified; instead, use a more specific F12.xx code.
• Consider sequencing this code after the primary mental health diagnosis if the psychotic disorder is the main reason for the encounter.
