Cocaine abuse with intoxication, uncomplicated

This code signifies a pattern of problematic cocaine use leading to clinically significant impairment or distress, specifically when the individual is currently experiencing the acute effects of cocaine intoxication without additional complications. It describes the immediate physiological and psychological effects of recent cocaine ingestion.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of cocaine abuse and the patient presents with active, uncomplicated cocaine intoxication. This typically involves symptoms such as euphoria, hypervigilance, anxiety, or impaired judgment directly attributable to recent cocaine use, without co-occurring delirium, psychotic features, or other specified complications.

• Ensure documentation specifies "abuse" rather than "dependence" or "use" to accurately reflect the diagnostic criteria.
• Confirm the intoxication is "uncomplicated"; if delirium, psychotic features, or other specified complications are present, a more specific code from the F14.12x series should be used.
• This code should be sequenced as a primary diagnosis when the reason for the encounter is the cocaine abuse with intoxication.
