Other stimulant abuse with stimulant-induced sleep disorder

This code signifies a pattern of problematic stimulant use that leads to clinically significant impairment or distress, specifically manifesting as a sleep disturbance directly attributable to the stimulant use. This includes conditions like insomnia or hypersomnia that are induced by the abuse of stimulants other than cocaine or methamphetamine.

Apply this code when a patient presents with a documented history of stimulant abuse (excluding cocaine and methamphetamine) and a co-occurring sleep disorder where the stimulant use is determined to be the direct etiological factor. Documentation should clearly link the sleep disturbance to the stimulant abuse, often through a temporal relationship or cessation of symptoms upon stimulant discontinuation.

• Ensure documentation specifies "abuse" rather than "dependence" or "use" to accurately reflect the F15.1- category.
• Verify the stimulant involved is not cocaine or methamphetamine, as those have specific codes (F14.182, F15.182).
• Always code the specific stimulant abused if known and documented (e.g., F15.10 for unspecified stimulant abuse, F15.12- for other stimulant abuse with intoxication).
