Cocaine use, unspecified with intoxication delirium

This code signifies a diagnosis of cocaine use disorder where the specific pattern or severity of use is not documented, and the patient is experiencing delirium directly attributable to acute cocaine intoxication. Delirium in this context involves an acute disturbance in attention, awareness, and cognition.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a patient's cocaine use is unspecified, and they present with an acute confusional state, disorientation, or altered mental status directly linked to recent cocaine ingestion. Supporting documentation would include a psychiatric evaluation, toxicology screen confirming cocaine, and a clinical assessment ruling out other causes for the delirium.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "unspecified" cocaine use and links the delirium to acute intoxication.
• Do not use if the delirium is due to withdrawal or a pre-existing psychiatric condition exacerbated by cocaine.
• Sequence this code as the primary diagnosis if it is the reason for the encounter, followed by any associated physical manifestations or complications.
