Oth stimulant abuse w intoxication w perceptual disturbance

This code signifies a pattern of problematic stimulant use, excluding cocaine and methamphetamine, leading to clinically significant impairment or distress, and currently presenting with intoxication accompanied by perceptual disturbances such as illusions, hallucinations, or other sensory distortions. It indicates an active state of acute stimulant-induced effects on perception.

Apply this code when a patient presents with symptoms of acute intoxication from stimulants other than cocaine or methamphetamine (e.g., amphetamines, ecstasy, bath salts), and their clinical presentation includes perceptual disturbances. Documentation should clearly state the stimulant class (excluding cocaine/methamphetamine), evidence of intoxication, and specific mention of perceptual abnormalities.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "other stimulant" and explicitly rules out cocaine or methamphetamine.
• Distinguish between intoxication with perceptual disturbance and stimulant-induced psychotic disorder; the latter would require a different code.
• Always sequence this code after any acute medical conditions directly caused by the intoxication, if applicable.
