Cocaine abuse with unspecified cocaine-induced disorder

This code signifies a pattern of problematic cocaine use leading to clinically significant impairment or distress, where the specific cocaine-induced mental or behavioral disorder is not documented or cannot be determined. It indicates a less severe form of substance use disorder compared to dependence, characterized by continued use despite negative consequences.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates cocaine abuse without specifying a particular cocaine-induced psychotic, mood, anxiety, or other mental disorder. This is appropriate when the clinician identifies problematic cocaine use but does not provide further diagnostic specificity regarding associated mental health conditions.

• Do not use this code if a specific cocaine-induced disorder (e.g., cocaine-induced psychotic disorder) is documented; instead, code the specific disorder.
• If cocaine dependence is documented, a code from the F14.2- category should be used.
• Always review the medical record for any co-occurring physical or mental health conditions related to cocaine use, and code them separately if documented.
