Cocaine depend w cocaine-induc psychotic disorder w hallucin

This code signifies a patient diagnosed with a severe and persistent pattern of cocaine use leading to significant impairment or distress, accompanied by psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations directly attributable to the physiological effects of cocaine. The dependence indicates compulsive drug-seeking behavior and continued use despite harmful consequences, while the psychotic disorder manifests as sensory perceptions without an external stimulus.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of cocaine dependence and co-occurring cocaine-induced psychotic disorder, specifically with hallucinations. This is appropriate for patients presenting with both a history of problematic cocaine use and current or recent hallucinatory experiences directly linked to their cocaine intoxication or withdrawal. Supporting documentation should include a psychiatric evaluation confirming both diagnoses and the causal link.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "dependence" and not just "abuse" or "use" for cocaine.
• Verify that the psychotic disorder is specifically "cocaine-induced" and includes "hallucinations" as the primary symptom.
• Consider sequencing this code as the primary diagnosis if it is the main reason for the encounter, followed by any other relevant conditions.
