Cocaine dependence with other cocaine-induced disorder

This code signifies a severe pattern of cocaine use characterized by compulsive drug-seeking and continued use despite harmful consequences, accompanied by an additional cocaine-induced mental or behavioral disorder not otherwise specified. This "other" disorder could encompass a range of conditions directly resulting from cocaine use, such as unspecified psychotic features, anxiety, or mood disturbances. It indicates a more complex presentation than simple dependence.

Use this code when documentation clearly establishes cocaine dependence alongside a co-occurring, cocaine-induced mental health condition that doesn't fit a more specific ICD-10-CM code (e.g., cocaine-induced psychotic disorder with hallucinations). Supporting documentation should detail both the criteria for cocaine dependence (e.g., tolerance, withdrawal, unsuccessful efforts to cut down) and the presence and nature of the "other" cocaine-induced disorder.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "dependence" rather than "abuse" or "use" to justify the ".2" in the code.
• Verify that the cocaine-induced disorder is not more specifically classifiable (e.g., F14.250 for cocaine dependence with cocaine-induced psychotic disorder with delusions).
• Always sequence this code as a primary diagnosis when it is the focus of treatment, or as a secondary diagnosis if the primary reason for the encounter is treatment of the cocaine-induced disorder itself.
