Oth stimulant abuse w stim-induce psychotic disorder, unsp

This code represents a diagnosis of problematic use of stimulants (excluding cocaine and methamphetamine, which have their own specific codes) that has led to the development of a psychotic disorder. The specific type of stimulant or the nature of the psychotic symptoms is not documented or is unknown.

Use this code when documentation indicates a patient is abusing stimulants other than cocaine or methamphetamine, and concurrently presents with psychotic symptoms (e.g., hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thought) directly attributable to the stimulant use. This code is appropriate when the specific stimulant or the precise psychotic manifestation is not further specified in the medical record.

• Ensure documentation clearly links the psychotic disorder to stimulant abuse, not an independent mental health condition.
• If the specific stimulant (e.g., ecstasy, amphetamines) is known, or the specific psychotic disorder (e.g., with delusions, with hallucinations) is documented, a more specific code should be used.
• Always sequence the substance-induced mental disorder code before any associated behavioral or mental health codes, unless the mental disorder predates the substance use.
