Cocaine use, unspecified with intoxication, unspecified

This code signifies a patient presenting with symptoms of cocaine intoxication where the specific type or severity of intoxication is not documented. It indicates a current pattern of cocaine use without further specification of the use disorder's severity or remission status.

Use this code when documentation clearly states cocaine use and intoxication, but lacks details regarding the specific intoxication manifestation (e.g., delirium, psychosis) or the pattern of cocaine use (e.g., abuse, dependence). This is appropriate for initial assessments where a definitive diagnosis of a specific use disorder or intoxication type has not yet been established.

• Avoid using this code if the documentation specifies a particular type of cocaine intoxication (e.g., with delirium, with psychotic features).
• Always look for documentation of severity (mild, moderate, severe) or remission status to select a more specific F14.9- code.
• Consider sequencing this code as a primary diagnosis if the intoxication is the primary reason for the encounter.
