Cocaine abuse with cocaine-induced anxiety disorder

This code signifies a patient diagnosed with a pattern of problematic cocaine use leading to clinically significant impairment or distress, specifically accompanied by anxiety symptoms directly attributable to the cocaine use. The anxiety disorder is considered substance-induced, meaning it developed during or soon after cocaine intoxication or withdrawal, or exposure to the substance.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of cocaine abuse and a co-occurring anxiety disorder that the clinician has determined is directly caused by the cocaine use. This requires a definitive link established by the provider between the substance use and the anxiety symptoms, ruling out pre-existing or independent anxiety disorders.

• Ensure the provider's documentation explicitly states "cocaine abuse" and links the anxiety disorder as "cocaine-induced."
• Do not use this code if the anxiety disorder is pre-existing or independent of the cocaine use; in such cases, code both conditions separately.
• Distinguish from F14.280 (cocaine dependence with cocaine-induced anxiety disorder), which indicates a more severe pattern of substance use.
