Cocaine abuse w cocaine-induc psychotic disorder w hallucin

This code signifies a pattern of problematic cocaine use leading to clinically significant impairment or distress, specifically characterized by the presence of a psychotic disorder with hallucinations directly induced by cocaine. The individual experiences perceptual disturbances, such as seeing or hearing things that are not real, as a direct pharmacological effect of cocaine.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of cocaine abuse and a co-occurring psychotic disorder where hallucinations are a prominent feature, and a causal link to cocaine use is established. This is appropriate for patients presenting with acute psychosis during or shortly after cocaine intoxication or withdrawal, where other causes of psychosis have been ruled out.

• Ensure documentation specifies "abuse" rather than "dependence" or "use" to accurately reflect the F14.1- category.
• Verify that the psychotic disorder is explicitly stated as "cocaine-induced" and that "hallucinations" are the primary psychotic symptom.
• Do not use this code if the psychotic disorder predates cocaine use or is determined to be an independent mental health condition.
