Cocaine use, unspecified with cocaine-induced mood disorder

This code signifies a patient diagnosed with a cocaine use disorder where the specific pattern or severity of use (e.g., abuse, dependence) is not documented. Crucially, the patient also presents with a mood disorder directly attributed to their cocaine use, such as depression, anxiety, or bipolar-like symptoms.

Apply this code when documentation clearly links a mood disturbance to cocaine use, but the provider has not specified whether the cocaine use is abuse, dependence, or in remission. This is appropriate for initial evaluations or when the full extent of the substance use disorder is still being assessed. Documentation must explicitly state "cocaine-induced mood disorder."

• Always look for documentation specifying "abuse" or "dependence" to use more specific codes in the F14.xx category.
• Do not use this code if the mood disorder is pre-existing or unrelated to cocaine use; instead, code the mood disorder separately.
• Ensure the medical record explicitly states the mood disorder is "cocaine-induced" to support this diagnostic link.
