Cocaine use, unspecified with intoxication, uncomplicated

This code signifies a patient presenting with an unspecified pattern of cocaine use who is currently experiencing acute intoxication without any complicating factors. The intoxication manifests as a temporary substance-induced syndrome due to recent cocaine ingestion.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates current cocaine intoxication without further specification of the use pattern (e.g., abuse, dependence) and without mention of withdrawal, delirium, or other severe complications. Supporting documentation would include a physician's assessment of acute cocaine intoxication, often noted in emergency department or urgent care settings.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "uncomplicated" intoxication; otherwise, consider codes with specified complications.
• Do not use this code if the patient is experiencing cocaine withdrawal; a separate code exists for that condition.
• Always sequence this code as a primary diagnosis when the intoxication is the reason for the encounter.
